LungaPalooza

About this campaign

LungaPalooza is more than just a fundraiser — it’s a celebration of community, compassion, and the future of respiratory care. All proceeds from the event directly support respiratory care student scholarships and research initiatives, helping empower the next generation of clinicians, educators, and researchers dedicated to improving patient care.

This event is held in honor of Kathleen Mai, who courageously battled idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a devastating and progressive interstitial lung disease. Through the Kathleen Mai Scholarship Fund, her legacy continues to inspire meaningful advancements in respiratory care education and research.

Funds raised through LungaPalooza help provide opportunities for current and future respiratory care students to pursue research focused on pulmonary fibrosis, lung disease, and improving patient outcomes. By supporting this cause, you are investing in innovation, education, and the lives of patients and families affected by respiratory illness.

Together, we can turn loss into legacy — and make every breath count.
