Breathing less is not an option.

More Reasons to Support The Breathe Concert:
During a year in which vog and sulfur dioxide have affected many throughout Hawaii,
we continue to face the issue of clear air for the future of our keiki, our residents, and
our visitors. With over 154,000 people in Hawaii with some form of lung disease, clean
air is more than an environmental issue - its an everyday matter of life and breath.
Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of both women and men in Hawaii.
Hawaii is ranked #2 in the nation for youth asthma and the number of asthmatic children
is growing. Hawaii is also #2 nationally in the incidence of tuberculosis and over the
course of less than a year we have seen three cases of TB show up in our schools.
Over 140,000 Hawaii residents, 40,000 of whom are children, continue to be exposed to
secondhand smoke and according to the most recent Surgeon Generals report, there
is no risk-free level of exposure. Our tobacco prevention, cessation, secondhand
smoke, and asthma control programs and activities are directly supported by local
fundraising.
About The American Lung Association of Hawaii:
ALA of Hawaii had its beginnings on the island of Kauai in 1929 and serves a statewide
community. As the ALA of Hawaiis programs and services are usually not funded by
county or federal sources, the ALA of Hawaii relies on grants plus individual and
corporate donations. By partnering with businesses, agencies, and grassroots
initiatives, the ALA of Hawaii pools resources and develops programs and services that
strive to meet the needs of the families, children, and adults we serve. We are
committed to our purpose because when you cant breathe, nothing else matters.
Our messages:
1. No search for a cure should go unfunded.
2. No child or adult should die from asthma.
3. No child or adult should be exposed or addicted to tobacco products.
4. No community should be exposed to unhealthy air.
