Join us for an invigorating and meaningful event, Breathe California's Breath of Life Walk, taking place on September 23rd, 2023, at the scenic Hellyer County Park. This is your chance to make a positive impact and raise awareness about lung health. By participating and fundraising, you'll be contributing to vital research, education, and advocacy programs that will help us build a healthier future and improve the lives of countless individuals living with lung disease.

Providing free air purifiers to low-income families with lung conditions such as asthma and COPD is one way that Breathe California fights lung disease and advocates for clean air. We have recently distributed over 100 air purifiers across the eight Bay Area counties. We have partnered with Bay Area Air Quality Management District to accomplish this work.

Our Community Health Educator Sharmin Sultana accepted the award from Cedar Crest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Sunnyvale on September 6th at a Germanfest-themed party.
