The Lung Cancer Research Foundation is proud to recognize Pfizer Oncology as the National Presenting Sponsor of our Free to Breathe Events Program. Their continued partnership has been instrumental in helping communities across the country come together in hope, remembrance, and action.
Turning a meeting into meaning
Pfizer’s dedication to lung cancer research and patient support extends far beyond sponsorship. This year, their Precision Medicine team hosted a Free to Breathe Walk right on their campus during their annual team meeting in La Jolla, CA. The group organized their own opening ceremony, symbolizing unity with the lung cancer community nationwide. It was a moving display of their team’s passion and personal commitment to the cause.
Walking with purpose
That spirit of solidarity has been felt across the country. Pfizer supported our Free to Breathe Chicago Walk, which brought together more than 700 attendees in the fight to end lung cancer. And at our Free to Breathe Kansas City, the community was deeply inspired by Kelly Huffman, a Pfizer employee living with lung cancer, who shared her story of courage and resilience during the opening ceremony. Her message of hope reminded everyone that funding research truly makes a difference.
No one in this family fights alone
Pfizer’s Precision Medicine team lives by the motto: “No one in this family fights alone.” Those words perfectly capture what the Free to Breathe community stands for—coming together as one family, walking side by side to fund groundbreaking research and support those affected by lung cancer. “We’re incredibly grateful to Pfizer Oncology for their partnership, passion, and leadership in advancing our collective mission,” said Emma Nestler, LCRF’s Senior Manager, Community Engagement. “Together, we’re walking toward a future free from lung cancer.”
