BREATHEASIER. ACTNOW
Join the fight against the asthma epidemic.Buy and wear the 'BREATHEASIER' wristband. The American Lung Association and GlaxoSmithKline are working together to promote asthma awareness. Together, we've launched the
'BREATHEASIER' campaign. GlaxoSmithKline has provided the Lung Association with wristbands at no cost and will match the first $250,000 raised through the campaign. All proceeds will benefit the American Lung Association's asthma programs and the fight against lung disease.
Wear a 'BREATHEASIER' wristband and share one with your friends and family -
help the American Lung Association fight asthma.
For each dollar donated you will receive a wristband - If you do want to donate your wristbands back to American Lung Association...what will happen to them? Great question.
Once we have enough for an entire elementary school, the American Lung Association will donate them to the children and administrative staff. This will help raise awareness and lessen the stigma of living with asthma for children!!!
