Did You Know?
Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in the US.
Anyone can get lung cancer, and no one deserves the disease. Close to a quarter of a million people in the US will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year alone. Just in Arizona, over 4,550 people were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021. Help us raise funds and raise awareness to fight lung cancer.
The LUNG FORCE Turquoise Takeover provides critical funds for lifesaving research and programs, early detection initiatives, and pandemic defense, relief, and prevention through our COVID-19 Action Initiative and vaccine education resources.

Why We Need You
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men. Someone is diagnosed with lung cancer every two minutes and 14 seconds. 4 in 5 of those diagnosed will ultimately die of the disease.
Why We're Hopeful
More Americans than ever are surviving lung cancer. The survival rate has increased by a dramatic 13% to 22.6% in the last 5 years. Your support will help us continue the progress in our efforts to defeat lung cancer.
