Across the nation, more than 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 37 years. CFF has consistently been recognized as one of the top voluntary health organizations in the United States. Almost 90 cents of every dollar raised is made available for investment in vital CF programs.

Tickets to attend "Fort Lauderdale's Finest Singles" are available for $150.
