Breathe Clear Foundation

In 2012, our friend and father Peter Lieb died of a rare lung disease afflicting fewer than 1 in 700,000 people. The Breathe Clear Foundation (BCF) was started in 2012 by Peter’s sons, Connor and Aiden, and his friends to remember Peter, help raise community awareness of rare lung diseases and give back to the community.

Connor and Aiden helped design the BCF logo, which portrays a whale – the mammal with the largest lung capacity (over 5,000 liters) alongside lungs, which represent lung health that BCF supports through its donations and activities.

Our past fundraising events include Angels Baseball Fundraisers, co-sponsored with Rolling Hills Little League. Peter loved sports and he loved life – and we found that the Angels pregame tailgate and baseball game was a great way to raise money for charities that promote lung health while also having a great time.

Breathe Clear Foundation (BCF) was founded in 2012 in memory of Peter Lieb, a father who lost his battle with a rare lung disease.  The foundation is managed by Peter Lieb’s two sons, as well as local fathers and business leaders who came together to create an organization which would raise understanding and awareness of similar lung diseases.

Our goals:

• Remember – BCF was organized to remember the life of Peter Lieb and countless others who have been affected by life threatening lung diseases.
• Help – BCF members and donors volunteer time and money to raise awareness of lung health, while also contributing to larger lung disease research organizations such as the American Lung Association.
• Celebrate – We believe that a critical part of our mission is to also have fun while also helping others.  BCF’s activities center around family and youth-oriented outings which celebrate life.
