LUNG FORCE Advocacy Day

During LUNG FORCE Advocacy Day (March or April), our LUNG FORCE Heroes come together to urge senators and representatives in Washington, D.C. to support robust and sustained federal funding increase for lung cancer research. 

LUNG FORCE Heroes have succeeded in helping us increase National Institutes of Health (NIH) lung cancer research funding by over 140% since the inception of LUNG FORCE in 2014.

Turquoise Takeover

Each year during the second week of May, we turn the nation our signature color—turquoise—and tell the stories of those impacted by lung cancer to change the public’s perception about the disease.

We need more awareness about lung cancer, more education on lifesaving screening and more research funding to fuel lifesaving breakthroughs.
