Defeating Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. But now, there’s hope. The lung cancer survival rate has increased to nearly 40% over the past decade. Defeating lung cancer is a strategic imperative of the Lung Association, and we seek to find cures, prevent, and relieve suffering associated with the disease.

Ways we are fighting lung cancer:

• LUNG FORCE
• Research
• Lung Cancer Screening
• LUNG FORCE Walks 
• Lung.org/lung-cancer

Improving the Air We Breathe

For nearly half of our history, the American Lung Association has battled air pollution. We work to ensure that the air we all breathe is clean and safe, so it will not cause or worsen lung disease. We are taking crucial steps that will result in less pollution, better health, and thousands of lives saved each year.

Ways we are improving the air we breathe:

• State of the Air
• Healthy Air Campaign
• Radon
• Workplace Wellness

Reducing the Burden of Lung Diseases

Nearly 34 million Americans suffer from chronic lung disease. Lung disease causes millions of days lost at school and work and costs billions of dollars in healthcare costs.

We’re dedicated to reducing the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families through programs such as:

• Better Breathers Clubs
• Asthma Basics
• LUNG FORCE Expos
• Fight For Air Climbs
• Lung HelpLine

Eliminating Tobacco Use and Tobacco-Related Diseases

Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Yet, every year more than 437,000 people die from tobacco-caused disease, and another 40,000 people die from exposure to secondhand smoke. Among adults who smoke, 81 percent began smoking regularly at age 18 or younger, with the average age of daily smoking initiation for new smokers at 20 years.

The Lung Association is committed to helping smokers quit while working to protect everyone from secondhand smoke and prevent young people from starting, through efforts such as:

• Freedom From Smoking
• State of Tobacco Control
• Smokefree Housing/Communities Initiative

Event Sponsorship and National Teams

American Lung Association events capitalize on the energy and passion of our local supporters and connect participants to lung health information, resources and community. National sponsors of the Lung Association's Signature Events benefit from the local publicity, focused attention, and ability to connect with members of specific communities throughout the United States. In addition to sponsorship, organizations can engage in specific local markets by forming event teams. Employees are able to work with local Lung Association staff to raise awareness for their organization while supporting lung research and patient programs within their communities.
