Skanska USA’s Greater PA office recently took part in the American Lung Association’s 2012 Fight for Air Climb to help promote clean air and healthy lungs. 

13 Skanska employees helped raise $1,918 for the ALA, the second highest contribution by a company. The money raised will go toward fighting lung disease and making the air clean to breathe.

Fight for Air Climb is a vertical 5K in which participants climbed all 21 floors of 1201 N. Market Street, the tallest building in Delaware. The strains on lungs served as a reminder that some people have difficulty breathing on a regular basis.

Skanska USA is a committed member of the philanthropic community and Skanska’s Greater PA office often volunteers and participates in various altruistic efforts. In addition to the American Lung Association, employees have worked closely with hilAbundance, Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
