Walk for Sarcoma Awareness
Friday, July 24th at 7:00 p.m.
Atlanta, Georgia

Emory Winship Cancer Institute and the Southeastern Sarcoma Foundation will host the 2nd Annual “Walk for Sarcoma Awareness” as part of the Team Sarcoma Initiative. The walk will take place at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park baseball fields (located next to the entrance to the public tennis courts). This is a great opportunity to show support to the newly designated National Cancer Institute (NCI) Emory Winship Cancer Institute and its groundbreaking Sarcoma Department. The event is co-sponsored by the newly founded Southeastern Sarcoma Foundation, which has already donated over $7,500.00 directly to sarcoma research at Winship. This walk will help expose Sarcoma to the southeast, as well as honor those who are survivors, caregivers and fallen heroes of sarcoma.

This is a family friendly event. The walk will take place from 7pm to 8pm and, for those who wish to make a night of it, we will continue at a local restaurant patio directly on the park at 12th Street and Piedmont Rd. Support bracelets and event t-shirts will be available for purchase, with all proceeds going directly to sarcoma research at Emory Winship Cancer Institute.

• For additional information or to RSVP your attendance, please contact Ned Crystal, Founder of the Southeastern Sarcoma Foundation, at (678) 779-8572 or ned.crystal@gmail.com.
