                                                                                                      The National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation started in 2001 with just $500.00. To date, through the hard work, dedication, and determination of all our volunteer members and families we have raised over $700,000.00 to further LMS research and awareness.

                                                                                                      Throughout the year, there are a variety of fundraisers held throughout the country to support awareness and to raise funds to support research for LMS. These events generate tens of thousands of dollars each year and have been hosted by children in Sunday School Class all the way up to 90 year old individuals. Events range from simple bake sales, community garage sales and raffles, to full scale golf tournaments, 5-K walk/runs, to "gaming" events and every conceivable idea in between. No idea is too small or too big- every dollar is important and helps us make a difference.

                                                                                                      If you have an event you are planning to help raise funds for LMS research please let us know about it. We will put the event in our newsletter, on our calendar and let as many people know about it as we can.
