Sock it to Sarcoma

Sarcoma Awareness Month - July 2026

Raising awareness, funding research and supporting people impacted by sarcoma. Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that can be quite aggressive and starts in the body's connective tissues. Sarcoma can occur at any age but is more often diagnosed in children, adolescents and young adults. To show our support, MPS is encouraging students to wear odd socks as well as free dress on the last day of school for Term 2 (Friday 3 July) and give a gold coin donation for Sarcoma Awareness. For information about Sarcoma and how you can support awareness raising and fundraising https://www.sockittosarcoma.org.au/
