THANK YOU to our global desmoid tumor community of patients, care partners, researchers, and medical professionals, who attended and participated in the DTRF Together We Will Virtual Weekend. We are grateful to our platinum event sponsor, SpringWorks Therapeutics, for making the Weekend possible! #DTRFWeekend2022

Together we advanced research, connected, empowered ourselves, and fundraised for a cure, while celebrating our community and Desmoid Tumor Awareness Month!

  • 2022 DTRF International Desmoid Tumor Research Workshop: 160 dedicated physicians and researchers from more than 25 countries registered for our virtual 9th Annual DTRF International Desmoid Tumor Research Workshop! We’re honored to be able to host this important collaborative meeting each year, which helps steer the direction of desmoid tumor research and the Foundation’s funding priorities. Learn more about the annual DTRF International Desmoid Tumor Research Workshop.

If you couldn’t join us last weekend, here’s how you can access the recorded events:

  • 2022 DTRF Annual Patient Meeting Webinars 1, 2, & 3: The recordings of these educational events (including live Q&A) are available to view (along with transcripts) on our Patient Meeting Presentation/Media page.
  • 2022 DTRF RFA Virtual Challenge Ceremony: The ceremony was streamed LIVE on Facebook! Watch the recording of the entire ceremony. It’s sure to brighten your day! Thanks to the hard work of our RFA Challengers, and the generosity of other donors and sponsors, we’ve raised more than $130K, with donations still rolling in. Please note that your fundraising pages will stay open for a few months, so we encourage you to keep going! Or, start a Facebook fundraiser with one click.

The work continues to find better treatments and, one day, a cure! Once again, on behalf of the DTRF team, THANK YOU!
