Advocate and raise awareness
There are many ways to participate in spreading lung cancer awareness, in addition to our events. Even the simplest of actions—sharing facts about lung cancer on your social media channels—can empower you while making an impact in confronting lung cancer on every front, every day, for everyone. Whether you’re telling your personal lung cancer story or talking about the need for more research to improve outcomes, awareness, and advocacy, you can make a difference for people at risk, diagnosed, and living with lung cancer.
We make it easy to help raise awareness, engage in advocacy, and participate in research—often from the comfort of your home. Our digital advocacy toolkit is your one-stop shop for making your voice heard—featuring social media graphics, pre-written emails to Congress, and tips to engage in a meaningful way. Our Lung Cancer Registry empowers you to share your story to advance research and achieve better outcomes for all.
Support our mission
You can help us confront lung cancer on every front, every day, for everyone when you help us raise critical funding for GO2 for Lung Cancer. Every year, more than 230,000 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer—and your support will make a difference in our relentless quest for a cure. Whether you’re donating today or organizing a fundraiser, your support sustains cutting-edge lung cancer research, government advocacy, and support services. Together, we will increase survival for those at risk, diagnosed, and living with lung cancer.
Share your story
Your story matters—and telling your story can help others impacted by lung cancer. Share your story, connect with the lung cancer community, and make a difference to transform survival.
Volunteer with us
When you volunteer with GO2 for Lung Cancer, you’re helping advance our lifesaving mission and showing your support for the lung cancer community. Become a Phone Buddy and share your personal lung cancer experience with another person living with the disease. Volunteer to help spread awareness and garner support through our GO2 5K Walk/Runs or National Ambassador Council (NAC).
