Join us for the 2026 LUNG FORCE Gala!On May 2, 2026, the American Lung Association of Kansas & Greater Kansas City will proudly host the LUNG FORCE Gala | The Winners Circle of Hope – A Derby Inspired Night of Grit, Grace & Giving at the beautiful Overland Park Convention Center.
This extraordinary evening will gather compassionate advocates and dedicated supporters who are united in the fight for lung health, all aiming to raise essential funds for groundbreaking research, impactful education, and life-changing patient programs for those affected by lung disease and lung cancer.
LUNG FORCE, a nationwide initiative of the American Lung Association, unites people in the fight against lung cancer—the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Since the inaugural LUNG FORCE Gala in 2017, the event welcomed over 2,800 guests and raised more than $1.6 million to support lung cancer research, awareness, and education.
This event will serve as a powerful reminder of our mission—because when you can’t breathe, nothing else matters. Join us for an unforgettable night as we champion the cause of lung health and make a lasting difference in our community. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this pivotal moment.
WE ARE NOT DONE YET!
While we’re proud of the $1.6 M we have raised since 2017, the fight against lung disease continues.
Today more than ever, we need your help to fund life saving research, education & advocacy efforts.
Help us continue our vision of a world free of lung disease. Join us again May 2, 2026 at the LUNG FORCE Gala!
