The Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA) is an American cancer research organization. It was founded in 2001 with the main intent of researching possible cures for sarcoma.[1][2] It operates as a non-profit organization in the United States.[1][3]
The organization received significant attention in 2022 after the death from sarcoma of Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade, with proceeds from his career going to the charity.[4][5] Technoblade held a charity livestream in 2021 raising money,[6] and some friends and collaborators also raised money for the charity in livestreams following his death.[7]
