Welcome to the Official Asthma Foundation of WA Website!

The Asthma Foundation of WA is a community based, non-profit organisation dedicated to the alleviation of asthma as a cause of morbidity and mortality in our community.

What’s coming up at the Asthma Foundation of WA

Entertainment Books
The new 2008/2009 Entertainment™ Books are now available from the Asthma Foundation of WA!

The new edition will be released in May, but you can pre-order your copy now.

Entertainment™ Books are distributed exclusively through not for profits and community groups. Part of the proceeds from each book goes directly to the organisation it was purchased through, so if you wish to support the Asthma Foundation of WA, please make sure you purchase one through us!

Anyone that has purchased a book previously knows just what great value they are, with discounts offered at hundreds of restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues across the metro area, as well as the Swan Valley , Margaret River , and the southwest.

They make great presents as well, and if you have friends and family who might like one of the new 2008/2009 Entertainment™ Books, please offer them our contact details.

Cough Up Campaign
We’ve put together a fantastic work place giving proposal, where employees can make contributions to the Asthma Foundation of WA directly from their pay. This can make a big difference to the Foundation, and to the amount of tax you pay each year! E-mail fundraising@asthmawa.org.au for further details.

Ask The Educator Sessions
The Asthma Foundation of WA conducts FREE Ask The Educator Sessions for people with asthma, and their family, carers or friends.

Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma
Sunday March 16th 2008 was a day of excitement and achievement for thousands of riders who took part in the Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma on the freeway between Kwinana and Joondalup. We congratulate everyone for participating and doing so well in their various categories.

We had over 7,000 participants in this year’s event with an incredible 2000 riders who tackled the new 60km length from Kwinana to Joondalup.

Hundreds of volunteers lined the entire stretch of the freeway to allow all the riders to pass through safely. We would like to thank all of the volunteers for their wonderful support and for being so much fun on the day!

The Asthma Foundation of WA’s primary source of income from holding this event is through sponsorship of riders and fundraising, and we’d like to remind riders that we’re still accepting fundraising and sponsorship forms. We encourage participants to continue gathering those last few dollars from friends and family to enable the Foundation to continue to support West Australians living with asthma.
