The American Lung Association of California and
its offices statewide work to prevent lung disease and promote
lung health.
Since 1904, the American Lung Association has been fighting
lung disease through education, community service, advocacy
and research. Lung disease, including asthma, emphysema, and
lung cancer, is the third leading cause of death in America.
The American Lung Association is the greatest single resource
for information and education about asthma. We have assumed
a leading role in the fight against tobacco, helping smokers
to quit, encouraging children not to start smoking, and protecting
nonsmokers from secondhand smoke. We are constantly fighting
for improved government standards for air quality, so everyone
can breathe easier. The ALA of California has funded research
since 1958. This year, we funded 21 projects for nearly $500,000.
