CHEST Foundation Update

During this past year, the CHEST Foundation reached impressive new heights. Nearly a half a million dollars in research grants were awarded, with over $41,000 supporting community service programs ranging from critical care training in Tanzania to asthma education camps for the underserved children in San Antonio, Texas.

Our Disease Awareness Campaigns remain stronger than ever, reaching millions of sports fans at the Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at Chicagoland, and the Indianapolis 500 with lung health public service announcements. In addition to the wide-reaching campaigns, our partnership with the American Lung Association will result in patient education information on 40 lung disease topics, some of which are already accessible on the ALA website, lung.org.

The CHEST Foundation is making a substantial impact on worldwide lung health. More than 95 cents of every dollar raised by the CHEST Foundation goes toward advancing our mission-based programming. Every cent and every donation matters: $100 can support the cost to print 250 “Healthy Lungs Passports” for children; $250 can supply a pulmonary reference textbook for physicians in Tanzania; $500 would help cover travel expenses for 20 home visits to teach children with asthma, and their parents, how to better control their condition; and $750 could fund a laptop computer and projector used to deliver chest medicine training for medical personnel in Africa.

With each contribution, our ability to make an impact on global lung health strengthens. We would like to thank all of our donors for being advocates for our mission—to champion lung health. Our list of achievements and successes is long because of the important role that our members play in ensuring the CHEST Foundation’s efforts to build healthier communities and save lives.

We hope that you will continue to embrace the foundation with enthusiasm, and include us in your end-of-year giving. To make a donation and learn more about the foundation, visit chestnet.org/foundation, or call us at 224/521-9527.
