THANK YOU to our global desmoid tumor community of patients, care partners, researchers, and medical professionals, who traveled to Philadelphia and participated in the DTRF Together We Will Weekend. It was wonderful to be in-person again! We are grateful to our platinum event sponsor, SpringWorks Therapeutics, for making the Weekend possible!
Together we advanced research, connected, empowered ourselves, and fundraised for a cure, while celebrating our community and Desmoid Tumor Awareness Month!
- September 22, 2023 – DTRF International Desmoid Tumor Research Workshop: Dedicated clinicians and researchers from around the world attended the 10th Annual DTRF International Desmoid Tumor Research Workshop, presenting on the latest desmoid tumor science and research advances. We’re honored to host this important collaborative meeting each year, which helps steer the direction of desmoid tumor research and the Foundation’s funding priorities.

- September 23, 2023 – DTRF Patient Meeting: At the heard of our Weekend, patients, caregivers, clinicians and researchers gathered to connect, collaborate and learn together. Presentations on research, treatments, and a special presentation on the patient experience. Recordings of these educational events (including live Q&A) are available on our Patient Meeting Presentation/Media page.
- 2023 RFA Virtual Champions Awards Ceremony: Scheduled for Sunday, September 24, 2023, the RFA 5K & Fun Run was cancelled due to a named storm on the East Coast, and we had to pivot to 100% virtual fundraising. Our community did not disappoint. Together, more than $63,000 was raised for desmoid tumor research! On November 2nd, the ceremony was streamed LIVE on Facebook! | WATCH
The work continues to find better treatments and, one day, a cure for each and every desmoid tumor patient! Once again, on behalf of the DTRF team, THANK YOU!
