Together for a Cure: ACMS at the Annual Pittsburgh Sarcoma Run/Walk

The Allegheny County Medical Society (ACMS) was proud to sponsor the Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma Annual Run/Walk, held at the beautiful North Park Boathouse.

This inspiring event brings together patients, families, physicians, and advocates in support of sarcoma research. Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma is a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit organization dedicated to raising critical funds and increasing awareness for this rare form of cancer—making a lasting impact both locally and nationally.

The energy, compassion, and sense of community on display were a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together. Thank you to all who participated, volunteered, and supported this meaningful cause.
