One way members get involved in CHEST’s philanthropic efforts takes place each year with the start of the NetWorks Challenge. CHEST members compete through their NetWorks – special interest groups that focus on particular areas of chest medicine – to raise funds that support Foundation microgrants.

NetWorks Challenge 2021 kicked off in June with a special twist to celebrate the Foundation’s 25th anniversary. Each NetWork is asked to complete a 25k virtual physical challenge. This can be done by walking, running, biking, swimming—or any other physical activity.

Through the challenge, members engage in friendly competition while supporting the goals of the Foundation. This year, money raised will directly help the Foundation in addressing health disparities through our microgrants program. In addition, the funds will support travel grants for doctors in training looking to attend CHEST 2021.

By participating in the NetWorks Challenge, members help fund grants that aim to lend a hand to those who need it the most. Expanding research capabilities, improving patient care, and giving access to medical equipment are just a few ways microgrants from the CHEST Foundation have been used in the past.

Inspired by the Listening Tour and the struggles experienced by underserved communities, money raised through the Network Challenge will go to a new pilot microgrant program called Rita’s Fund. The grants aim to supplement community-based projects that provide resources to individuals to help drastically change their quality of life. Funding will assist with coverage for medical equipment, transportation, and access to technology for those living with lung disease and other medical complications.

NetWork members are asked to encourage one another to join in this summer’s race to 25k.
