Every year, the American Lung Association works diligently to champion lung health for all Americans. Through a variety of education, research and advocacy initiatives they strive to prevent disease and promote health. Here at AprilAire, we believe everyone deserves access to healthy air. So it only made sense that we should partner with the Lung Association to work together on our complementary missions. Strength in numbers, right? We were excited to launch this partnership in early 2020, eagerly kicking things off by becoming a national sponsor of the Lung Association’s Fight For Air Climb. The Fight For Air Climb is one of many Lung Association events designed to support friends and loved ones living with a lung disease while raising funds for clean air, lung health education and other aspects of the organization’s mission.
More recently, the Lung Association launched the Stand Up For Clean Air initiative to honor the 50th anniversary of the Clean Air Act. This provides a platform for everyone to learn about how air quality impacts our lives and health, as well as ways to advocate and educate others about this important topic at a community level. It is about creating conversations around air quality, climate and health. More importantly, conversations that explore who may be impacted the most (e.g. low-income communities, older Americans, people of color, etc.) by these issues. AprilAire was very excited to sponsor and support this initiative.
The #MyCleanAirStory contest grew out of the Stand Up For Clean Air initiative as a way for people to share their thoughts on why clean air matters to them. Created by the Lung Association, it allows a glimpse into why clean air matters to all Americans. Nine contestants won AprilAire Allergy True HEPA Air Purifiers donated by AprilAire. The grand prize contest winner won a whole-home Indoor Air Quality upgrade which included a free AprilAire Healthy Air System™ installation from our valued partner contractor, Aaron York’s Quality Air in Indianapolis, IN. Committed to building trust and delivering quality service, York’s has been providing HVAC and Indoor Air Quality services to their community for almost 45 years. Reflecting on the installation process, Aaron York’s President Kris Conover, stated “Being able to promote a system concept like this is really ideal. I love sharing with people all the aspects of what goes into creating good Indoor Air Quality in the home.”
Clean air matters to all of us – for one reason or another. Start asking your customers why clean air is important to them!
