American Lung Association

Our Mission: To save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. Our Vision: A world free of lung disease. Our Strategic Imperatives: Defeat lung cancer. Improve the air we breathe so it will not cause or worsen lung disease. Reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families. Eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases. Accelerate fundraising and enhance organizational effectiveness to support the urgency of our mission.

The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to improve lung health and prevent lung disease, through research, education and advocacy. We educate our community members through various program opportunities such as Better Breathers Clubs, Open Airways in Schools and Asthma 101, which provided critical education to patients, caregivers, students, parents and teachers. In addition to educating our community members, we also host our signature fundraising events to support our programmatic work: The LUNG FORCE Run/Walk, Fight For Air Climb, and Lip Sync For Lungs.
