2026 Sponsorship Proposal

A Partnership for Impact

Give a Breath 5k is not just a run - it's a movement of hope, strength, and unity for Canadians impacted by lung cancer. In 2025, we were inspired by the event's incredible success.

Sponsoring Give a Breath 5k 2026 means more than brand alignment - it's making a statement. you believe lung cancer should no longer be a death sentence. You're driving research, support, education, and advocacy. Your support will be seen. It will be felt. It will matter.

We'd be honoured to have you on this journey with us.

From a Local Run to a National Movement: Give a Breath is changing the future of lung cancer in Canada

Since 2019, Give a Breath 5k has grown from a small 5K in Edmonton to Canada's leading lung cancer awareness and fundraising initiative - engaging communities and driving real impact nationwide.

In partnership with Lung Cancer Canada and our sponsors, the event supports key programs like:

The Give a Breath Research Awards - Driving innovation in post-first-line therapy where few options exist and urgent need remains
The Airways of Hope program - offering emotional, practical, and peer-to-peer support to lung cancer patients and caregivers navigating an isolating disease

This is equity in action. This is science meeting compassion.

The Give a Breath Research Awards

Your support directly fuels research that matters - targeting gaps in care for patients after first-line therapy.

The Give a Breath Research Awards

With your support, Airways of Hope is reaching more people living with and affected by lung cancer - directly connecting patients, care partners, and families with the personalized guidance, peer mentorship, and practical tools they need to navigate one of life's most difficult journeys. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, we're helping people find clarity, support, and strength when they need it most.
