About American Lung Association
Founded 120 years ago, the American Lung Association is the trusted, leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through education, support programs, advocacy and research. The Association’s accomplishments are thanks to donors, volunteers, program and event participants and staff.
The challenge
The American Lung Association needed a website that fully lived up to its mission and was easier to maintain. Their existing site wasn’t meeting performance goals and lacked the impact, accessibility and functionality required to serve their diverse audience. They turned to Rise, a Quad Agency, as a web-design partner to create a web presence that reflects the ALA’s leadership and legacy, engages a broad user base, streamlines access to critical research and resources and makes content-management effortless for their team.
