Harold Wimmer, President and CEO at American Lung Association, shared a post by Misty Shields, Assistant Professor at Indiana University School of Medicine, adding:
“Proud to see the impact from the American Lung Association’s 2026 Evening of Promise Gala in Indiana.
Thank you to all of the sponsors, attendees, volunteers, and staff who made this evening possible, and congratulations to Community Health Network.
Dr. Nasser Hanna’s message was clear: lung cancer can affect anyone with lungs, but progress in research and screening is saving lives.
More than $650,000 raised represents real hope and real impact.
When you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.”
Quoting Misty Shields‘s post:
“Impactful American Lung Association 2026 Evening of Promise Gala Tanya Husain honoring Community Health Network with keynote speech by Dr. Nasser Hanna and beautiful introduction by MacKenzie White.
Dr. Hanna’s keynote highlighted how lung cancer can affect anyone with lungs, and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths…
BUT, with research, identifying targeted therapies, immunotherapy, biomarkers, and the use of lung cancer screening, lives are being saved & changed faster than any other cancer!
Over $650,000 was raised by generous donors for lung health and lung cancer research!”
