Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission is to raise funds for local research, amplify awareness, and accelerate the fight to end sarcoma cancers - resulting in local and global development pathway for new sarcoma treatments and increase the speed of accurate diagnoses.

  • THE PAUL TAKACS FOUNDATION FOR SARCOMA RESEARCH, A 501c(3) TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION RAISES BOTH AWARENESS AND CRITICAL FUNDING FOR SARCOMA RESEARCH. SARCOMAS CURRENTLY REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 1% OF ADULT AND 15% OF CHILDHOOD CANCERS, AND THEREFORE LACK THE LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING THAT OTHER MORE PREVALENT CANCERS OFTEN RECEIVE. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE 70 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SARCOMAS, ALL OF WHICH RESPOND DIFFERENTLY TO TREATMENT. WITH THESE STATISTICS, COUPLED WITH THE RESISTANCE THAT MANY SARCOMA TYPES DISPLAY TO TRADITIONAL CANCER TREATMENTS, THERE IS A PRESSING NEED FOR PRIVATE FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE EFFORT TOWARD MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR SARCOMAS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
