Across the nation, 30,000 children and adults are affected by cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is a genetic disease affecting the respiratory and digestive systems. Currently, there is no cure, but through impressive research efforts, the median age of survival has risen to 36.8 years.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) has consistently been recognized as one of the top voluntary health organizations in the United States and has been acknowledged by such publications as SmartMoney and Forbes for their efficiency and innovative approach to curing a genetic disease. Almost 90 cents of every dollar raised is available for investment in vital CF programs.
Tickets are $150 each.
