The opportunities on these pages are just the beginning. There are countless ways for you to join the movement to defeat lung cancer. Here are just a few more ideas:

Research: Advocate for increased research funding

• Write a letter to your Congressional representatives asking them to support more federal investment in lung cancer research.
• Work with your state and regional representatives to get a lung cancer research “check off box" on your state’s income tax forms.

Awareness: Create a grassroots movement in your community

• Organize or participate in a health fair or other event. We'll provide free education materials!
• Find us on Facebook and Twitter to network with other lung cancer advocates and get the latest news.
• Use Facebook and other social media to spread the word about the impact of lung cancer and to encourage others to get involved.

Change:  Raise funds for lung cancer research and other Partnership programs

• Designate the Partnership as a beneficiary for a marathon, triathlon or other event. 

• Ask local businesses to donate a portion of their proceeds to the cause.
• If you sell crafts, art, food or other goods, donate a portion of your proceeds to the Partnership.
• Shop our lung cancer-related merchandise.
• Make a donation to the National Lung Cancer Partnership.
• See if your employer has a matching gift program so that your contribution can be doubled!
• Make a commemorative gift in honor or memory of a loved one.
• Consider including the National Lung Cancer Partnership in your estate planning.

We'd love to begin a conversation about any of these opportunities for you to get involved, or any ideas you may have. For more information, please contact Annie Dutcher, Programs Coordinator, at .
