Christmas Seals 2025

The American Lung Association’s 2025 Christmas Seals are available as a fundraising tool, allowing donations (typically $10+) to receive sheets of these decorative seals, used to support lung health initiatives against diseases like asthma, lung cancer, and pollution, with early December 2025 being a key time to order for holiday mailings. These seals, while not actual postage, function as holiday stickers to decorate mail and raise crucial funds, continuing a tradition started in 1907 to fight tuberculosis.
