3 American Lung Association The Lung Health Crisis Lung disease: third leading cause of death in the U.S., responsible for one in six deaths. Lung cancer: leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Asthma: a leading cause of missed school days. COPD: fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. Air Pollution: threatens the lives of millions. These are the facts. The crisis is real. lungum.org LUNG USA

4 2 Join Us in the Fight for Air American Lung Association Our Mission To save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.

5 J o i n U s i n t h e Fig h t for A i r 3 Our Heritage As America s oldest voluntary health organization, founded in 1904, we began our fight dedicated to combating tuberculosis (TB), the most dreaded disease at the time. As TB was brought under control, the focus expanded to all lung diseases including asthma, tobacco control and environmental health issues. Today, the focus is on healthy lungs and healthy air. Christmas Seals For more than 100 years, one of the most effective weapons in the fight for healthy lungs and healthy air has been the American Lung Association Christmas Seal. Millions of people place these decorative seals on their holiday cards and packages to show their support in the fight against lung disease. lungum.org LUNG USA

6 4 Join Us in the Fight for Air Healthy Air and Healthy Lungs Healthy Air Six out of ten Americans live in areas where air pollution reaches unhealthy levels and threatens the health of millions of people. Air pollution can even kill. The American Lung Association has led the fight for healthy air for more than 40 years, advocating for stronger clean air standards, lower power plant emissions, and cleaner vehicles and fuels. We fight for clear skies over every community and healthy lungs throughout the country. It s our priority to keep harmful secondhand smoke out of our public and work places, and we look forward to a day when kids no longer battle airborne poisons in their own homes or fear an asthma attack. The American Lung Association isn t just fighting for air. We re fighting for all the things that make air worth breathing.

7 Join Us in the Fight for Air 5 Healthy Lungs The average person takes 15 to 20 breaths a minute over 20,000 breaths a day. Keeping your lungs healthy is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. We re proud of our landmark victories in the Fight for Air that include requiring cleaner diesel buses and trucks, getting power plants to clean up emissions and winning smoke-free work and public places across the nation. The American Lung Association is committed to helping people quit smoking, the most preventable cause of death in the US, and to prevent young people from starting in the first place. Our gold standard Freedom From Smoking (FFS) and FFS Online programs have helped thousands of smokers quit for good. To help people with lung disease breathe easier, we promote Better Breathers Clubs and our toll-free Lung HelpLine (1-800-LUNG-USA). The Lung HelpLine is staffed by registered nurses and respiratory therapists with extensive experience. We also lead efforts to teach health professionals about best-practice asthma management through our Asthma Educator Institute. Our work encompasses all aspects of our mission, to save lives by preventing lung disease and improving lung health. lungum.org LUNG USA

8 6 Join Us in the Fight for Air American Lung Association Research American Lung Association researchers strive to find ways to reverse, treat, prevent and find cures for all lung disease. We support researchers early in their careers to attract and retain talented scientists who remain dedicated to lung research. Our Asthma Clinical Research Centers make up the largest not-for-profit network of researchers dedicated to asthma treatment and are just one example of our direct impact on patient treatment and care.

9 Join Us in the Fight for Air 7 How You Can Help Volunteer spirit and charitable contributions have shaped our past and will help determine our future. Our vision is a world free from lung disease, and we can make this happen with your help. Contributions to the American Lung Association are tax-deductible. Volunteer We count on volunteers at all levels of our organization to become involved, engaged and impassioned by our mission. You can advocate for our cause or help at an event in your state. You can find many ways to volunteer at the American Lung Association. Contribute Here s how you can support the work of the American Lung Association: Annual and ongoing contributions Matching gifts from your company Memorial/Tribute/Expressive Gifts Planned giving join the Emily Bissell Heritage Society Corporate partnerships and foundation initiatives Create a team to participate in a special event lungum.org LUNG USA

10 8 Join Us in the Fight for Air American Lung Association Our Credo We will breathe easier when the air in every American community is clean and healthy. We will breathe easier when people are free from the addictive grip of tobacco and the debilitating effects of lung disease. We will breathe easier when the air in our public spaces and workplaces is clear of secondhand smoke. We will breathe easier when children no longer battle airborne poisons or fear an asthma attack. Until then, we are fighting for air.
