Founded in 1904, the American Lung Association has been the leader in the fight for healthy lungs and healthy air.

What began as a crusade to control tuberculosis in the United States has developed into a mission to save lives, by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.

It’s an ongoing fight that has produced a history of positive results. That includes over one million people who have ended their addiction to tobacco because of our Freedom From Smoking programs.

An ever-expanding research program that includes the nation’s largest non-profit network of clinical trial centers supporting asthma and COPD patients, and an imperative. And an imperative that we defeat lung cancer, the nation’s leading cancer killer.

A vital component of our success is the financial support we receive from donors like you.

By making the American Lung Association part of your legacy plans, you are giving a gift that will impact future generations.
