The American Lung Association is the oldest voluntary health agency in the nation. We began a century ago working for cures for tuberculosis. Today we are dedicated to preventing and curing lung disease and promoting lung health through research, advocacy and statewide services for those with asthma and other lung disease.
More than 30 million Americans suffer from chronic lung disease. Few know that lung cancer is the most common cancer related death; taking more lives than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined.
Your financial contribution supports research, program development, and public policy surrounding lung health locally and nationally.
The color turquoise and the “whoosh of breath” icon both are reminiscent of air, breathing and healthy lungs. It also symbolizes the “force” that it will take to change the statistics about lung health. This particular color of blue—turquoise—is also a color often used by other lung health organizations. And because we want to build a movement, we wanted to choose a color that would work well for the whole community.
