Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
In 2016, ABoH revenue grew to over $600,000 and now in 2017, we have seen triple the revenue of 2013 and will likely reach $1,000,000. We continue to grow our impact and presence in the areas of lung cancer research, disease awareness and education, and patient and family support programming. We continue to spend more than 86% on program, versus administration or fundraising.
