Public Education
A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation partners with individuals, businesses, and healthcare systems to ‘WRAP’ awareness and wellness around communities. Through awareness events, public speaking, marketing campaigns, and community outreach, ABOH provides vital information about lung cancer to the public.
Lung Cancer Research
Lung cancer claims more lives each year than breast, prostate, and colon cancers combined, yet lung cancer research receives disproportionately less funding per cancer death than other types of cancer. Most of the proposals submitted to the NIH and scored as ‘excellent’ do not get funded due to lack of funding. This means that private funding for research focused on lung cancer is vital to saving lives.
A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation raises funds to support translational research and drive new treatments that save lives! ABOH also works to raise awareness about lung cancer and screening for earlier detection. The primary focus of the ABOH Research Program is to support early-career investigators and retain promising young researchers in the field through competitive $150,000 awards. A Breath of Hope has invested nearly $3 million in its U.S. Lung Cancer Research Program.
