The mission of the Charlie Landers Foundation is to raise awareness, provide critical support to pediatric and young adult patients, and fund research to find a cure for Ewing’s Sarcoma.
The Charlie Landers Foundation was founded to honor the legacy of Charlie Landers, who passed away after a valiant two-and-a-half-year battle against Ewing’s Sarcoma.
Through his Foundation, Charlie’s lasting legacy of strength, perseverance, courage, and compassion for others, will guide us on our mission to support Ewing’s patients and fund research that leads to a cure.
Since the Foundation was started, we have raised close to a million dollars, delivered comfort kits to patients in over twenty five hospitals across the United States, and formed a medical advisory board of leading doctors and researchers to help us allocate grants & research dollars in search of new treatments with the end goal of developing a cure that strikes out Ewing’s Sarcoma once and for all.
Ewing’s Sarcoma is a devastating and rare form of bone cancer that mainly affects children, adolescents, and young adults.
Survival rates vary depending on advancement of disease and age of the patient at time of diagnosis, but the 5-year survival rate for metastatic Ewing’s Sarcoma is 30% and only 10% in instances of recurrence. These statistics are unacceptable and frightening.

If the status quo does not change, hundreds of children and young adults every year will continue to have their lives threatened by this rare form of pediatric cancer.
Urgent action is needed to fund research and develop new treatments to improve the prognosis for Ewing’s Sarcoma patients to ultimately discover a cure. Below are ways you can get involved with our foundation and help us on our mission to strike it out.

CL7 Comfort Kits are thoughtfully designed care packages that aim to bring hope and joy to patients newly diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma.
Our success is ultimately measured by our ability to empower patients and individuals to strike out Ewing’s Sarcoma. In our first year we allocated over $350k to four high impact grants in the ongoing search of a cure. Our next fundraising target is to raise $400,000 for our 2024 grant cycle.
