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]
