At Breathe California, we believe that breathing should not be a struggle or a risk. For the past 112 years, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that the Bay Area is one of the healthiest places in the country to live. That’s why we are proud to say that 100% of all donations made to Breathe California support our local efforts to promote lung health. Our local non-profit offers a wide array of local services that address the most important lung health issues facing our communities today.

These include programs to:

• Teach kids with asthma how to manage their condition, train their care givers, and promote asthma-friendly environments
• Present educational workshops for asthmatic adults and families
• Offer education and support to local residents who suffer from COPD and emphysema
• Provide sleep apnea patients with low cost breathing equipment and supplies
• Prevent teens from using tobacco and vaping
• Assist adult smokers who want to quit
• Educate about tuberculosis and advocating for an end to the TB epidemic
• Improve local air quality to ensure that all Bay Area residents can breathe easier
