Volunteer Appreciation Week
As the nation’s oldest voluntary health organization, the American Lung Association wishes to call special attention to National Volunteer Appreciation Week, April 10th through the 16th.
The American Lung Association, Plains-Gulf Region extends a special thank you to the local volunteers who have been integral in our success over the years. We have over 12,000 volunteers region-wide who facilitate health education programs, perform various administrative tasks, advocate on our behalf and assist with our fundraising events.
Each volunteer is an invaluable resource that has contributed to our success in helping people quit smoking, control their asthma, cope with lung disease and fight for healthy air. During National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we at the American Lung Association want to recognize and extend our warmest and most sincere appreciation to all of those who give time, energy and dedication to our mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.
We are spotlighting volunteers from the many different areas of the American Lung Association, on our website, Facebook and Twitter. For more information on volunteering and the many ways to join us in the fight for air, call 1-800-LUNG USA, or visit our website.
