Rein in Sarcoma Foundation is a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization focused on advancing knowledge and support around sarcoma cancers. Established in 2004 and rooted in the initiatives started by Karen Wyckoff, the foundation’s work encompasses funding research, educating physicians and the public, and directly supporting survivors and families affected by sarcoma. It positions itself within the wellness and fitness services landscape by addressing the rare and highly malignant sarcoma cancers that affect connective tissues, and it notes a multi-pronged commitment to research, support, and education. The organization serves a broad community touched by sarcoma, including both patients and medical professionals, and has reported raising substantial funds for its activities through its programs and outreach in the Upper Midwest.

A notable recent development is the introduction of the Jan Maudlin Sarcoma Scholars for the 2023-2024 academic year at the University of Minnesota, reflecting the foundation’s ongoing involvement in education and capacity-building within the field. Based in Shoreview, near the Twin Cities, Rein in Sarcoma Foundation emphasizes its role as a local leader among comparable national entities by focusing on awareness, resource provision, and translational efforts that connect affected individuals with information and opportunities. The organization has grown to become one of the more recognizable sarcoma-focused foundations in its region, with a history spanning two decades since its inception.
