Background
Since 1908, Canadians have made a difference in the lives of people with lung disease by supporting the Christmas Seal program.
The first Christmas Seals originated in 1903 when a benevolent postmaster named Einar Holboell in Copenhagen, Denmark was inspired to create the stamps to help children with tuberculosis (TB).
For more than 100 years, Christmas Seals have been an essential fundraiser for The Lung Association with the money raised being used to support world-class research, programs and services.
