Hybrid fundraising event to raise money to end lung disease, COVID-19

Today, the American Lung Association in Florida announced that the 3rd annual Lip Sync For Lungs will take place on Wednesday, November 11.

Former Lip Sync Battle Champions include Steve Gunter of The Taproom at Dubsdread, Tony Sos of Dellecker Wilson King McKenna Ruffier & Sos, to Nate Carn and Armando Castenada who represented various fire departments in Volusia County.

“This year’s event will feature some fun and very entertaining local celebrity performances, but with multiple options for people to participate safely,” said Janelle Hom, executive director of the Lung Association. “During this challenging time, it is more important than ever to support lung health. We are proud that funds raised will help our ongoing efforts to end lung disease, as well as support our new COVID-19 action initiative.”

  • Patty Sheehan, City of Orlando Commissioner, District 4;
