The Challenge
The Osteosarcoma Institute was born out of a similar non-profit: QuadW Foundation. Both are centered around the rare bone cancer, osteosarcoma. QuadW (short for “What Would Willie Want”) was great at commemorating Willie Tichenor – a loved one who lost his fight with the rare disease and celebrates his values of scholarship, philanthropy, and mission work. However, it came up short in facilitating effective change in sarcoma research and improving patient outcome.
The QuadW board decided to allocate $10 Million to osteosarcoma research and fund a new organization that would take the lead in moving the needle forward towards finding a cure. A challenge that has yielded little change in the previous decade.
The Solution
The Osteosarcoma Institute launched in November 2017 when they presented at the international CTOS conference in Hawaii. With a research-focused mission in finding a cure, the logo represents the donors, patient families, and research specialists that would need to come together in order to make this mission a reality. We worked on brand messaging that would clearly communicate their vision and the institute’s goals to attract researcher partners as well as the hearts of families affected by this disease. The website launched in support to their presentation and will serve as a source of information about the disease and research progress as their organization grows in size and influence in the sarcoma community.
