[Philadelphia, PA] – 12/12/25 – The Synovial Sarcoma Foundation (SSF) is thrilled to announce the appointment of Julie Kramer as our new Community Engagement & Partnerships Manager. With a wealth of experience in advocacy and nonprofit communications, and as a survivor of synovial sarcoma, Julie is uniquely equipped to support the foundation’s mission and the needs of our patient community.
