Giving Hope Society

LUNG CANCER INITIATIVE GIVING HOPE SOCIETY
The Giving Hope Society recognizes the generosity and impact of individuals and families who are sustaining donors to Lung Cancer Initiative (LCI), and includes supporters who contribute or raise a minimum of $1,000 annually. Individual donations as well as funds raised on behalf of LCI through events like our LUNGe Forward Walk/Runs all count toward Giving Hope Society membership!
This can be done in a variety of ways…
- Individual donations with a cumulative total of at least $1,000 in a calendar year
- Funds raised on behalf of LCI through events like our LUNGe Forward Walk/Runs
- Recurrent donations of that total at least $1,000 in a calendar year–just $84 per month qualifies you for the Giving Hope Society!
