LUNGevity Foundation is seeking a talented photographer(s) to donate their time and allow us to use photographs after the event for our Breathe Deep DC Lung Health Resource Fair & 5K Walk on Saturday, October 26th at the National Mall (12th Street & Jefferson). The event will kick off at 9:00AM and last until about 12:30PM. We would like to have our photographer arrive at 8:30AM to get set-up and ready for our participants. We can be flexible if you are only available for part of that time.
Our grassroots events run the kindness of volunteers. We would love to include your logo and/or name on our website, social media to recognize the donation of your time and services. You may also pass out business cards or other materials on event day.

LUNGevity Foundation is firmly committed to making an immediate impact on increasing quality of life and survivorship of people with lung cancer by accelerating research into early detection and more effective treatments, as well as providing community, support, and education for all those affected by the disease.
We focus on research because the link between research spending and improved survival is clear. Survival rates have dramatically improved for colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers over the last several decades in step with the exponential growth in their research spending. Our goal is to accelerate progress for lung cancer in the same way, in order to dramatically improve on the current 17% five-year survival rate.
To date, LUNGevity has funded 115 research projects at 58 institutions in 23 states. LUNGevity research investments focus on early detection, because survival rates rise when lung cancer is detected while still localized. We also focus on more effective treatment approaches-getting the right treatment to the right patient at the right time to help people with lung cancer live longer and better.
LUNGevity also provides a community of empowerment, support, and hope for everyone affected by lung cancer through our extensive educational resources, online peer-to-peer support, and in-person survivorship programs, as well as more than 80 grassroots awareness and fundraising events held from coast to coast each year.
