Every dollar you give goes directly to work

 

Better Is Possible

Elizabeth believed better was possible — better treatments, better outcomes, better support for every person facing this disease. Every dollar you give moves that belief forward: one discovery closer to a breakthrough, one family with a place to stay, one patient who doesn't face this alone. This is how lung cancer gets beaten. Your gift is part of that.

The 80 / 20 Breakdown

  • 80% funds cutting-edge lung cancer research at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, with a focus on women and lung cancer.

  • 20% supports patients and families directly — no-cost lodging through Family House, free parking at UPMC Hillman, and the lung cancer support group at Cancer Bridges.

The board of directors may also make micro-grants to other nationally recognized lung cancer organizations or top tier research facilitates if they believe the funding from Libby’s Lungs will make a meaningful impact for the lung cancer community.

Since 2019, this community has raised over $400,000 for lung cancer research and patient support — and the work continues.
