Our Mission
To offer aid and support with the prevention and control of lung diseases in children
​
​
Our Vision
The Eight and Forty has been given the task of assisting in the prevention and control of all respiratory diseases in children
​
Associations:
La Boutique des Huit is affiliated with several notable organizations, including:
American Legion Child Welfare Foundation
​
The National organization was founded in 1922. The symbolic heart of 8 & 40 is in honor of American ground troops of the First World War. The French theme was applied to officers titles and organizational functions. Departemental d'Illinois was chartered in 1926. To this day, every partner of the 8 & 40 has a veteran in their life. This gives her the eligibility to join. It is a privilege to serve children with lung and respiratory diseases in honor of the service of our veterans.
My year is dedicated to all the Partners , past and present, who have put in years of dedication to helping our special children. It is also dedicated to all the partners that put their faith in me to help lead and work with them this year.
​
My special Project will be
the American Lung Association
