Join the American Lung Association in Hawaii as we Celebrate Another Year with Christmas Seals! Recapture the warm nostalgia of past campaigns with modern technology! Visit www.ChristmasSeals.org to send an online Christmas Seal Greeting, find your favorite Christmas Seal, order Christmas Seals to use this holiday season, and even watch Christmas Seals come to life!
Christmas Seals bring happy holiday memories for many families but some don't realize their first serious purpose began in 1907. That year, volunteer Emily Bissell created the decorative holiday seals to raise $3,000 to fight tuberculosis. Today, that fight and others to combat lung disease continue: Over 175,000 people in Hawaii have lung disease, and Hawaii is ranked #1 nationally for the incidence of TB, #2 for youth asthma prevalence and lung cancer is the #1 killer of men and women.
Join ALAH in celebrating a tremendous holiday tradition by using the seals on all your holiday cards and packages. You can even send your friends a Christmas Seal on Facebook! If you'd like to order your 2009 Christmas Seals or send a Christmas Seal online to a loved one, visit www.ChristmasSeals.org.
