Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Foundation's mission is to increase public awareness of the challenges children diagnosed with cancer face, and raise money to fund research for less toxic, more targeted treatments and cures.

Based in Miami, Florida, SebastianStrong Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charity that honors the life of Sebastian "Sebs Ortiz (2000-2016) by increasing awareness of childhood cancer and raising money to fund research for less toxic, more targeted childhood cancer cures. This mission was born from the example of STRENGTH set forth by Sebs during his courageous 14-month battle with rhabdomyosarcoma. Since his passing, the Foundation bearing his name has bolstered the support of donors from across the country. SebastianStrong has awarded several grants to date for pediatric cancer research.

Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer CenterCoral Gables, FL501(c)(3)SebastianStrong Foundation's grant to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at University of Miami. Dr Matteo Trucco, MD and his team will test the safety and ability of adding Disulfiram to chemotherapy to overcome the resistance to chemotherapy seen in relapsed sarcomas. Metastases and relapses are the major cause of death from pediatric bone and muscle tumors (sarcomas). Current chemotherapy can kill the majority of sarcoma cells, but often some are able to survive the chemotherapy and give rise to new cancers (relapses) or spread throughout the body (metastasize). We have been using the same chemotherapy for pediatric sarcomas for decades. Sarcoma cells that express high levels of an enzyme called Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) have proven to be resistant to chemotherapy. The drug Disulfiram, used safely for over 50 years for the treatment of alcoholism, blocks ALDH and laboratory tests have shown that it makes sarcoma cells more sensitive to chemotherapy.$100,000

IRS990/Desc0SebastianStrong Foundation's focus is on funding cutting-edge Pediatric Cancer research. We aim to fund research that focuses on less toxic and more targeted treatments and cures - from finding ways to make chemotherapy treatment less toxic and more effective, to finding ways to teach the body to fight cancer. Projects are selected through a rigorous review process by our medical advisory board. At times, projects go through more than one review cycle, as when we partner with other foundations to jointly fund a project. In those cases, projects are reviewed by scientists and doctors on more than one medical advisory board.

IRS990ScheduleI/RecipientTable/PurposeOfGrantTxt0SebastianStrong Foundation's grant to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at University of Miami. Dr Matteo Trucco, MD and his team will test the safety and ability of adding Disulfiram to chemotherapy to overcome the resistance to chemotherapy seen in relapsed sarcomas. Metastases and relapses are the major cause of death from pediatric bone and muscle tumors (sarcomas). Current chemotherapy can kill the majority of sarcoma cells, but often some are able to survive the chemotherapy and give rise to new cancers (relapses) or spread throughout the body (metastasize). We have been using the same chemotherapy for pediatric sarcomas for decades. Sarcoma cells that express high levels of an enzyme called Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) have proven to be resistant to chemotherapy. The drug Disulfiram, used safely for over 50 years for the treatment of alcoholism, blocks ALDH and laboratory tests have shown that it makes sarcoma cells more sensitive to chemotherapy.
