July 1 – 31, 2026 Recurs yearly
Officially represented by the Yellow Ribbon.
Observed every July, Sarcoma Awareness Month highlights sarcoma, often called the "forgotten cancer", a group of over 100 rare cancer subtypes that begin in bones and soft tissue. It accounts for roughly 1% of adult cancers but 15–20% of pediatric cancers, making awareness, early detection, and research funding especially critical.
“You Are Not Alone” centers the 2026 campaign on the real challenges faced by people living with sarcoma and their families. Sarcoma encompasses more than 100 rare cancer subtypes and can affect people of all ages. Its rarity and complexity can contribute to delayed diagnosis, difficulty finding appropriate specialist care, limited research opportunities and a profound sense of isolation.
The campaign therefore goes beyond simply increasing awareness of sarcoma. It emphasizes connection, shared lived experience, access to expertise, better care and collective advocacy—bringing together patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers and the public.
