We spent two incredible days with students at Findley Elementary’s Common Ground Extended Care program, sharing lessons about air quality and guiding them through hands-on activities to build BetAIR clean air boxes. Watching the students realize that the filters they built would directly help families in their own community was powerful. Their enthusiasm, teamwork, and care for others gave us hope for a future where clean air and environmental responsibility are shared values from an early age.
We are honored to receive a grant from the Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation, a leading organization dedicated to improving indoor air quality and advancing accessible, science-based air filtration solutions. Their contribution will help us expand our outreach, build and distribute more clean air kits, and continue promoting health equity across Oregon communities. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and belief in our mission.
We met with the OSU Aspire Center team to discuss potential collaboration opportunities supporting community health and clean air awareness across Oregon. We’re excited to continue working together to expand BetAIR’s impact and reach new communities.
We were thrilled to present at the Corsi-Rosenthal Board Meeting! Their simple DIY box filter isn’t just a tool - it’s a lifeline. BetAIR is proud to bring this design to families everywhere, helping communities breathe easier, stay healthier, and feel empowered by small innovations that make a big difference.

Every kit supports the community in breathing cleaner air during this critical season. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
We delivered clean air kits to the Ashland Fire & Rescue as wildfires like the Demming Fire (~350 acres), Neil Creek Fire (~250 acres), and the Emigrant Fire continue to impact air quality.
These kits help protect first responders and the community when clean air matters most. Thank you to all the firefighters for their service.
