New Friends & Better Breathing, Camp Superstuff Works Its Magic Again!

Asthma Campers

Sometimes known for sitting on the sidelines, they held nothing back. As they ran, swam, dove for fly balls and played games, the kids at Camp Superstuff held their heads high, emphatically saying no to being breathless. For this camp wasn’t just about having a great time—for kids like Niamh Haller, it was about taking control of their asthma and discovering how to live life to its fullest. Read more.

NUMMI Helps Agency Upgrade Exhibits

Asthma Campers

Breathe California would like to offer its thanks to New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) for its charitable grant to help us purchase new equipment for two community education displays. With NUMMI’s support, we were able to purchase lung screening equipment, a portable laptop and DVD player, educational DVDs, curricula kits, scientific demonstration models, and equipment to help us improve the interactive exhibits we use at countless off-site venues each year. This grant will now make it possible for us to offer even more lung screening tests as well as a host of new educational tools at health fairs, schools, corporations and community groups throughout the Bay Area. We greatly appreciate NUMMI’s continued support of our mission to fight lung disease in all its forms!
