More about our partnership with the American Lung Association:
For the past four years, proceeds from our Take a Breath for Life Foundation’s fundraiser were directly donated to the American Lung Association in Western New York supporting their efforts to defeat lung cancer. We are thrilled to announce that we have joined forces and formalized our relationship. This enhanced initiative will allow us to raise more funds and awareness to the #1 cancer killer in the United States.
The local American Lung Association staff will be taking on the registration process for our 5k through this new website that will allow all of our runners to have their own personal fundraising page to raise additional funds through their friends and family if they choose. Donations will now be tax-deductible as a part of our partnership with the American Lung Association!
