Flying High After TWO Successful Events!
Kites for a Cure™
Summer 2009 was kicked off in style with TWO Kites for a Cure events on Long Island benefitting Uniting Against Lung Cancer. Guests had fun and helped raise awareness and funds for lung cancer research. Together these events raised nearly $100,000 for our programs!
Find a Cure Panel
We are excited to announce an affiliation with Find A Cure Panel where people with lung cancer and their caregivers can participate in quantitative online research designed specifically for them. For every survey completed by those who register, Find A Cure Panel will donate a minimum of $25 to Uniting Against Lung Cancer. You can complete the two minute profile, by clicking here. This is a great way for you to impact the development of future treatment for lung cancer while supporting Uniting Against Lung Cancer.
Uniting Against Lung Cancer is committed to fight lung cancer by funding innovative research and increasing awareness of the disease and all those affected by it.
Joan’s Legacy is proud to announce its name change to Uniting Against Lung Cancer!
Site under construction—Please check back frequently for updates and the official name change announcement.
In 2001, the friends and family of Joan Scarangello, a nonsmoker diagnosed with lung cancer at 46, took action to increase survivorship of lung cancer and hope for others affected by the disease. They created Joan’s Legacy to raise awareness about lung cancer and funds for research into its diagnosis and treatment. Since then, they have been joined in their research and awareness activities by like-minded groups, working through the peer-reviewed awards process.

Because the battle against lung cancer can only be won by working together, and the reason each person cares about lung cancer is often very personal, the name “Uniting Against Lung Cancer” was created. Uniting Against Lung Cancer benefits from the same strong Medical Committee, the same successful research program, and the same solid nonprofit status, while expanding the kinds of lung cancer studied. And it allows each group joining in these efforts to raise funds and awareness in their loved one’s name.
