At Breathe California, we believe that breathing should not be a struggle or a risk. Our local non-profit offers a wide array of local services that address the most important lung health issues facing our communities today. This includes programs to: teach kids how to manage their asthma, prevent teens from using tobacco, assist smokers who want to quit, and help emphysema and lung cancer patients cope with their illness. We also advocate for key clean air and public health policies, and support innovative lung health research.
For the past 100 years, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that the Bay Area is one of the healthiest places in the country to live. That’s why we are proud to say that 100% of all donations made to Breathe California support our local efforts to promote lung health.
