The Sam Day Foundation started with a group of people who loved Sam and were compelled to fight for him, and to change the story for other young people with sarcoma cancers. While Sam was still alive, friends came together and raised over $350,000 for Ewing Sarcoma research through another organization. But Sam was never able to benefit from that research.

With his passing in 2016, his circle of support felt a profound sense of loss and anger about how kids like Sam are treated for cancer. In 2018, we funneled that anger into action and launched the Sam Day Foundation.

What started as a proactive effort to save Sam and other young people battling Ewing Sarcoma, has grown into a strong community of compassionate and generous advocates of all ages. Today, our hope is to generate enough attention and resources to advance the most promising research available, so that one day kids with cancer can survive and live well.

Since the Sam Day Foundation launched in 2018, more than $1.5+ million has been committed to research and multiple projects continue to be vetted for additional funding.
