About Us

The American Lung Association is the leading organization dedicated to saving lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through education, advocacy and research.

The Lung Association provides support and education for those living with asthma, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and fighting external threats to lung health such as tobacco, air pollution, and more.

We rely on your generous donations to make our work possible. Our important lung health programs and focus areas include:

LUNG FORCE — LUNG FORCE is a national movement led by the American Lung Association to unite women in the fight against lung cancer and for lung health. Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of men and women in the United States. Together, we are a force to be reckoned with.

American Lung Association Action Network — Our advocacy success is dependent on the engagement of knowledgeable and dedicated volunteers who participate with us in various campaigns. Make your voice heard on key issues that impact your lung health.
