Although the KACF has continually grown and evolved on a near-daily basis since it first began, there are some major milestones that have lead us to where we are today.
The Kristen Ann Carr Fund continues to seek out new opportunities to advance knowledge in the treatment of sarcoma and to support people and families whose lives are affected by cancer. We understand that the fight against sarcoma will not be won in a single arena and we plan to be there to lend a hand in as many ways as we can, while taking great care to focus our support only to those places where it will do the most good.
