To Our Trusted Community Partners –

On behalf of the American Lung Association in Chicago and the Local Leadership Board, I
would like to express our sincere appreciation for your support of the American Lung
Association’s 2021 Fight For Air Climb – Chicago presented by UnitedHealthcare.

The American Lung Association has been saving lives by improving lung health and preventing
lung disease for more than 100 years. As the nation’s leading organization fighting for healthy
lungs and healthy air, our mission combines medical research with patient resources,
educational programs, and public health advocacy.

This year we rose to the challenges that COVID-19 presented to us by moving the Climb
outdoors to Soldier Field and creating a robust virtual participant option with our Climb Your
Way program. We implemented our Climb Safe Commitment which included spatial
distancing, health screenings and sanitation protocols —ensuring that our climbers could
participate in the event with confidence in its safety.

The 2021 Fight For Air Climb raised over $400,000 for our mission, and we are working to
make the 2022 event even more impactful. Your support and involvement helps to provide the
Lung Association with the opportunity to reach out to Iowans who are impacted by lung disease
and provide them with the resources, fund critical research and advocate on behalf of Iowans.

Thank you once again for your continued support of the life saving work of the American Lung
Association and the 2021 Fight For Air Climb.

Michael Telesky, UnitedHealthcare, Vice President of Sales
Chair, Local Leadership Board of Greater Chicago

Every day, children and adults with chronic asthma try to
minimize and avoid the things that trigger an attack. Although there is no

cure, asthma can be managed, which is where we come in.
The American Lung Association is a recognized authority for asthma health

professionals, school personnel and families who are impacted by the
disease. And so, every day, 365 days a year, thousands of people across
the country turn to us for support and free resources to manage asthma at

home, work and at school. To learn more about the Lung Association’s
resources on Asthma go to Lung.org/Asthma.

: Last year, our annual State of Lung Cancer
Report showed that lung cancer survival rates are improving. However, the
report also showed that lung cancer remains the country’s #1 cancer
killer. Curing lung cancer will not be a single event, but a continuous
progression of meaningful breakthroughs over time. Those breakthroughs
are only possible because of the sustained and reliable support from Fight
For Air Climb participants like you. To learn more about the Lung
Association’s efforts on Lung Cancer, go to Lung.org/LungCancer.

is not the first, and it will not be the last respiratory
pandemic that we will face. That’s why we created the COVID-19 Action
Initiative and committed $25 million to end COVID-19 and protect against

future pandemics. By participating in the Fight For Air Climb, you are
helping to PREVENT future outbreaks by investing in respiratory virus
research. PROVIDE free lung health education and masks to those in

need. PROTECT public health by advocating for COVID-19 and flu
vaccines in underserved communities of color. To learn more about our

research and work around COVID-19, go to Lung.org/COVID19

: For decades we have been helping people quit
tobacco for good. Now we’ve leveraged that experience and expertise to
address the alarming youth vaping epidemic through our nationwide Vape-
Free Schools Initiative. One in four teens has vaped, and the number of
middle and high school students using e-cigarettes increased to 5.4 million
in 2019. Vaping can permanently damage lungs. When you participate in
the Fight For Air Climb you support our work to end the youth vaping
epidemic. To learn more about the Lung Association’s work around the
Vaping epidemic go to Lung.org/Quit-Smoking
