• To decrease the number of preventable deaths occuring each day by raising funds for important research, education, advocacy and programs.
• To reduce the soaring economic costs of asthma. Over 12 billion is spent annually to keep Asthma under control.
• Last year alone, $4.6 BILLION dollars was in lost productivity and $9.4 Billion dollars was spent in annual health care costs.
• The American Lung Association of Oklahoma is a small organization tackling big problems and we need your help.
• To assist in helping one to breathe is a noble and worthy endeavor.
• When you can't breathe, nothing else matters.
