The 18th Annual “A Night With the Stars” event presented by EnergySolutions in sponsorship for the American Lung Association of Utah was held on Thursday, August 21, 2008 at La Caille in Sandy Utah.  We want to thank the many sponsors and donors who contributed money and auction items to this years event.  It was a huge success due in part to their generocity.  We also recognize the the many volunteers who dedicated so much time and energy to help make this event a success- we couldn’t do it without them. 

We had a wonderful turnout at this years event.  We were excited to have nearly 500 guests, including many prominent individuals from our community who willingly hosted several of the corporate tables- each providing a unique experience for their guests.  We look forward to the 2009 “A Night With the Stars” with  with excitment and anticipation for making it the best year ever! 

Each August, the American Lung Association of Utah holds its celebrity dinner, A Night with the Stars. The event is held at Utah’s premier French restaurant, La Caille. A silent auction is held before dinner where all proceeds benefit the ALAU. This year’s auction items include furniture from Tai Pan Trading, restaurant gift certificates, hotel stays, and more odds and ends from Utah’s top retailers.

Celebrities from around Utah come and participate in the event. This year Miss Utah for 2007-08 will be attending along with college and professional sports figures, and TV and radio personalities. We look forward to our celebration and its mission to help fight lung disease.

The mission of the American Lung Association is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health. The ALA is the oldest voluntary health organization in the United States. Founded in 1904 to fight tuberculosis, the ALA today fights lung disease in all its forms, with special emphasis on asthma, tobacco control and environmental health. The Lung Association is funded by contributions from the public, along with gifts and grants from corporations, foundations and government agencies. The ALA achieves its many successes through the work of thousands of committed volunteers and staff.

The American Lung Association of Utah (ALAU) is part of the Southwest Region that includes Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. The ALAU has an asthma camp for children, NOT designed to help teenagers stop smoking, a Freedom From Smoking Facilitator Training to provide businesses with tobacco-free training, the Workplace Tobacco Policy where we push for more smoke-free workplaces and even working to reduce air pollution.

We have three main fundraisers Asthma Walk in the spring, Night with the Stars in August, and Tackle the Tower in February.
