CHARITY OF THE MONTH: The Lung Association of Canada

The Lung Association works at the national, provincial and community levels to improve and promote lung health. They focus on chronic lung disease like asthma and COPD, infectious diseases like TB, flu, and pneumonia, and breathing disorders like sleep apnea. Providing reliable and trusted information to both citizens and governments, they advocate for improvements when lung disease patients are getting inadequate care.

The Lung Association movement began in 1900 to control the spread of tuberculosis and provide better services for TB patients. Today, The Lung Association focuses on all issues that affect the ability of Canadians to breathe every day.

The mission of the Canadian Lung Association is to lead nationwide and international lung health initiatives, prevent lung disease, help people manage lung disease and promote lung health. Our Provincial and national offices work together to help the one in five Canadians who have breathing problems.

To be a part of their revolution, purchase any item from Creating Good Karma's boutique and a portion of all sales* (for the month of November) will be automatically donated to this great organization.

"Charity of the Month" program

Our Charity of the Month program is designed to help educate our visitors and raise funding for the featured charity for one full month.

Each month, Creating Good Karma will advertise a featured charity* and donate a portion of sales from each product sold to that charity. By featuring 12 different charities throughout the year, Creating Good Karma is hoping to raise awareness and funding for not only one good cause, but all of them.

To learn more about our Charity of the Month program, or to be featured, please contact us.

* To become a featured charity, the organization must be registered and/or non-profit in order to protect our donation as well as the people receiving it. We also consider the size of the organization, as well as their impact on the community. Donations are strictly based on sales for the featured month.
