Events for Awareness Month

We have two events going on this month for PH Awareness Month in our chapter area. Learn more and join us for some periwinkle fun.

Nov. 6  O₂ breathe Gala (New York City, NY)

Nov. 8  Sarah Smiles 4th Annual PHun-Raiser for PHA (Camillus, NY)

Walk at the Philly Zoo Nets More Than $65K!

This past Sunday family and friends joined together at the zoo for the first annual Philadelphia O₂ breathe Walk. Nearly 500 walkers gathered, sharing stories, music, friendship and a common goal. It was a wonderfully successful day. With proceeds at $65,000 and counting, the walk's participants made quite an impact on our fight to cure pulmonary hypertension. We look forward to next year's event and gathering together again. A big PH thank you to everyone who participated!

New York City Taxis Playing PHA's Public Service Announcements!

PHA's Greater New York and Philadelphia Chapter worked with PH parent and advocate Steve Van Wormer as part of our PSA Blitz to get PHA's public service announcements played in New York City taxi cabs. They will be running for the next couple weeks leading up to the Chapter's New York City O₂ breathe Walk along with an ad about the walk!

This is a great opportunity for PH awareness raising -- educating millions of New Yorkers and visitors about pulmonary hypertension. If you or someone you know sees one let us know by posting to the NY-Philly Chapter Facebook page or tweet @phanyphilly.

We also invite you to come out for the New York City O₂ breathe Walk on June 1 at the South Street Seaport. The event will include a live performance by PHer and writer of PH anthem "Brave" Chloe Temtchine as well as food, activities for kids and a beautiful walk along the water. There is no cost to participate so bring the entire family and encourage your friends and colleagues to do the same. Register now
