In 2012, ABOHLF donated $50,000 to support two innovative lung cancer research projects through our partnership with the LUNGgevity foundation. Additionally, $20,000 was donated to our partners at the Angel Foundation to help local lung cancer survivors and their families meet basic needs during the difficult time of a cancer diagnosis. A total of more than $300,000 has been directed toward lung cancer research in previous years.

ABOHLF has three primary goals for 2013. The first is the creation of an annual giving plan that is supported by a comprehensive marketing strategy, a more effective website, and an annual fundraising calendar. The second is to create a business growth plan that will add to the organizational capacity of ABOHLF through the addition of staff, office space, and new events as the fundraising targets are met. The third is to continue to improve upon and enhance the success of the annual Lung Run/Walk through increased sponsorship opportunities, media coverage, and overall race participation.
