Dear Ms. Shore:

Thank you for your recent donation of a $50 Gift Certificate to our 12th Annual Clean Air Classic Golf Tournament. Your donation will help make this year’s tournament a great success, and will further our efforts to combat lung disease.

The American Lung Association of Greater Norfolk County works to promote healthy lungs and to prevent lung disease in your community. Since 1927 we have been involved locally in research, education, and advocacy in an effort to create a healthier society.

Allow us to highlight one of our current activities that your gift helps to fund. Every summer we send asthmatic children to camp. These children have a wonderful week enjoying the treasures of camp and learning to overcome the challenges of their asthma.

The American Lung Association’s unique Camp Chest Nut is located in Becket, Massachusetts, surrounded by the scenic Berkshire Mountains It is a very special community of boys and girls, ages 8 to 15, who share a common problem –asthma. At Camp Chest Nut, they have the support of committed counselors and respiratory therapists. Here each child learns that they are not alone with their asthma.

Camp Chest Nut helps children to recognize their own individual “triggers” and teaches them how to manage an asthmatic episode. Campers also have an opportunity to candidly discuss-the problems associated with asthma and to develop ways to cope with these issues. The program offers breathing exercises and information about using medications. The children have fun while learning to manage their asthma in a safe, secure environment.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and all the children and adults our programs will help, thank you for your dedication and commitment to the American Lung Association’s Clean Air Golf Tournament. Your generosity will make a real difference in the fight against lung disease.

Sincerely,

Gene Lavanchv
