The American Lung Association is the nation’s oldest non-profit health agency, and our mission is to prevent lung disease and to promote lung health.  Our mission is critically important today, since lung disease ranks as the third leading cause of death in the U.S. 

For more than 100 years, the American Lung Association of Kentucky has enjoyed a well-earned reputation as public health pioneers and leaders.  We are the only nonprofit charitable health organization dedicated solely to lung health issues.  Our agency’s service area includes all of Kentucky, and our programs and services reach people of all ages. 

Proceeds from the gala benefit the American Lung Association in support of the fight against lung disease.   Contributions help fund medical research, patient services and educational programs, including our special camps for children with asthma.

Asthma is a serious public health threat for millions of Americans, and the American Lung Association has targeted asthma education and control as a priority focus of our mission to fight lung disease.

The ALA of Kentucky annually sponsors a variety of medically-staffed camps throughout the state for children who have asthma. 

We offer professional medical education programs to assist healthcare providers in staying up-to-date with current diagnosis and treatment guidelines. We provide educational and school-based interventions to improve asthma awareness in schools.  And, we are actively working to find better ways to diagnose, treat, prevent – and ultimately cure – asthma through our support of cutting edge asthma research.
