Thanks to Everyone who Supports the work of Breathe California Central Coast

As many of you are aware, over a year ago with four other Breathe California organizations located in Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles, Breathe California Central Coast was proud to launch our new organization Breathe California. The five Breathe organizations work collaboratively to design and implement grassroots programs that address lung disease and its causes. We are independent and 100% of our funds go to support initiatives to improve the health and environmental well-being of our local communities.
