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 our founding, we’ve raised over $3.6 million, delivered 1,000+ comfort kits to patients at more than 60 hospitals nationwide, and assembled a leading medical advisory board—enabling us to allocate $1.1 million in research grants toward better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for Ewing’s Sarcoma.
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.
