Corporate Development

Join in the fight against LAM.  Become a LAM Foundation Corporate Supporter. Together we can change the future of women living with lymphangioleiomyomatosis!

When you support The LAM Foundation you are helping over 2,000 women who are living with the disease and approximately 300,000 more who are estimated to be misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. The Foundation wants to develop relationships with corporations that are committed to our cause and will work with the Foundation to elevate the sense of urgency around LAM...educate patients and their loved ones about the management of the disease...and inspire people to take action.

Corporate sponsorship provides the opportunity for companies to:

  • Connect with people who have LAM
  • Make a positive impact in their community
  • Raise funds to advance research for finding a cure
  • Participate in outreach and education programs in the community
  • Support advocacy efforts

When you become a corporate sponsor with The LAM Foundation your company may:

  • Expand its reach and grow your customer base through access to a core targeted market of those with LAM, and committed supporters of the Foundation
  • Drive awareness and loyalty of your brand through the LAM community
  • Increase employee health and awareness about LAM by committing to help employees learn the signs and symptoms of LAM
  • Fund research to help find a cure

Ways to Get Involved

We invite corporate America to join The LAM Foundation in the fight against lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Corporate sponsorship offers a variety of ways for companies to get involved:

  1. Sponsor a Community Event or Regional LAM Meeting -Our community outreach events and programs promote LAM education and awareness and help improve the health of the community, and your employees. We transfer goodwill to our corporate sponsors by connecting them in the hearts and minds of our audience, with the cause they hold dear.

  2. Sponsor a LAM Clinic in your region – The LAM Foundation has partnered with 24 Institutions to establish LAM Clinics across the country.  The primary objective of The LAM Foundation’s Clinical Research Network is to provide LAM patients with state of the art, coordinated, multidisciplinary care in the area where they live.  Another objective of the program is to facilitate clinical trials within medical institutions that have the interest and expertise to perform cooperative research with other LAM Clinics.  The LAM Foundation hopes to provide financial support to LAM Clinics that meet the criteria for collecting and transmitting longitudinal data for research and quality improvement purposes using Foundation web-based tools, thus becoming LAM Centers of Excellence.  Click here to view the list of LAM Clinics(make this a link) across the country.
  3. Sponsor The LAM Foundation International Research Conference - Known as LAMposium, this is the largest research conference for LAM in the world.  The three-day, dual-track conference brings together the scientific and patient communities to share information on the advancements in LAM research.  The scientific portion of the conference serves as the catalyst for future LAM research efforts, while the patient/family track helps LAM patients navigate their journey with LAM.  The conference began in 1998 and is well established.
  4. Add The LAM Foundation to your Employee Giving Campaign - Encourage your employees to support the cause by donating to The LAM Foundation through payroll deduction.
  5. Become a Matching Gifts Company - Consider matching your employees’ contributions to The LAM Foundation.  This can double or triple your employees’ donations to the Foundation and build a sense of caring and community within your own organization.
  6. Join the 1000 x 1000 Campaign for the Cure - A goal has been set by LAM patients to recruit 1000 companies or individuals to contribute $1,000 per year. Click here to make a contribution to the 1000 x 1000 Campaign for the Cure.
