With the holidays upon us, we take time to thank all of the volunteers, fundraisers, patients and caregivers, advocates and healthcare professionals who supported LUNGevity through our events and programs. We appreciate all you do! This has been a banner year: The announcement of the Stand Up to Cancer-LUNGevity-American Lung Association Lung Cancer Interception Dream Team and Translational Research Team, bringing a new avenue of focus for early detection. The launch of the Patient-Focused Research Center, Patient FoRCe, to research lung cancer patients’ unmet needs and preferences, and how they change over time, so that they can be addressed in their care. A new partnership with the patients of ALK-Positive to fund research that will save their own lives. The largest number of lung cancer survivors ever convening for the annual HOPE Summit and the first ever COPE Summit for caregivers. The thousands of supporters who came out for LUNGevity Breathe Deep events across the country, ran a marathon for Team LUNGevity, attended a gala, or created their own fundraisers. And a 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator. Want to get involved? Find out how to be an advocate, volunteer, or fundraiser. Here’s some recent news:
Please consider a year-end gift this holiday season. Your support will help us continue to provide free education and support to people affected by lung cancer as well as fund impactful research. We wish you and your family a very happy and healthy New Year. |
