We love third-party fundraising events — and it's a great time of year for a tournament: think fishing, golf, cornhole...there are so many possibilities!
Not only do third-party fundraisers generate financial support for our research initiatives and programs, but they also help raise awareness of our mission and work and connect us with people from across Canada who have been affected by lung disease.
