Cystic fibrosis [CF] is a genetic disease that affects approximately 30,000 children and adults in the US.  CF causes the body to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and can lead to life-threatening lung infections.  The CF mucus also obstructs the pancreas, interfering with digestion.

The CF Foundation creates and funds innovative research and provides specialized medical care to improve the length and quality of life for people living with CF. This summer, the CF Foundation celebrated a huge victory and important advance for the cystic fibrosis community. On July 2nd, the FDA approved the combination drug Orkambi™ that targets the underlying cause of the disease in people with two copies of the most common CF gene mutation. Nearly half of individuals with CF have two copies of this mutation and could eventually benefit from the therapy.

Join us for a fun-filled evening full of football and tailgate treats all to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Your contribution will make a difference.
