About Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a rare, genetic, life-

shortening disease that affects every organ

in the body and makes breathing difficult.

Some people with the disease say it’s like

breathing through a narrow straw. In

people with CF, a defective gene causes a

thick buildup of mucus in the lungs,

pancreas and other organs. In the lungs,

the mucus clogs the airways and traps

bacteria, leading to life-threatening lung

infections.

Sixty years ago, most children did not

live long enough to attend elementary

school, but thanks to CF Foundation-

based research and care, the median

survival age of people with CF is now

into the 40’s.

About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Founded in 1955, the Cystic Fibrosis

Foundation is the world's leader in the search

for a cure for cystic fibrosis. The Foundation

was started by parents desperate to save

their children’s lives. Their relentless and

impassioned determination to prolong life has

resulted in tremendous strides over the past

60 years in accelerating innovative research

and drug development, as well as advancing

care and advocacy.

Virtually every approved cystic fibrosis drug

therapy available now was made possible

because of the Foundation and its

supporters. Still, we believe no one should

have to die at a young age.

We will not rest until we have a cure for

all people with cystic fibrosis.

THE CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION,

leading the way

While people with CF are living longer than in the

past, we still lose precious lives every day.

Despite tremendous progress, we are not yet done. Our story

will not be finished until we have achieved normal life spans

and have a cure for all people with CF.

Better Todays

In addition to adding tomorrows by pursuing innovative treatments, we’re also committed to

helping people with CF live the best lives that they can today. Along with new therapies and

a one-time cure, we’re still steadfast in our efforts to develop treatments that address the

symptoms of CF. We are continuing to invest in CF care by increasing our support for the

120 centers in our innovative care network, with a focus on adult care and mental health.

And we’re actively focused on lung transplant initiatives for the many adults with CF who

need them. We are enabling efforts by and for people with CF. And we’re working diligently

in the policy arena to ensure that people with CF have access to the care they need. In

addition, CF Foundation Compass, exists to help people with CF and their families with

insurance, financial, legal and other complex issues they are facing.

We need your involvement now as much as ever

before to reach our goal.

A Cure for All

But we don’t just want to treat CF. We

want to end CF – for everyone, including

those with rare or nonsense mutations. To

bring that vision to life, we are focused on

a very high-tech and experimental process

called gene editing. Gene editing will

remove the genetic mutation that causes

CF and replace it with a normal sequence

of DNA. Research into using gene editing

to cure CF is already underway. Although

there are many hurdles, with time and

continued effort, we believe we will see a

permanent, one-time cure in our lifetimes.

Research Advances

Drugs that treat the genetic cause of CF are

rapidly becoming available to more

individuals as a result of the CF Foundation’s

efforts. There are now three FDA-approved

therapies that treat the basic defect in cystic

fibrosis for more than half of the population.

Perhaps most exciting, more and more

people will be helped by these treatments in

coming years. In fact, by 2026, we expect

that close to 95% of people with CF will

benefit from similar drugs.

WHY SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION?

Many people with CF are living long

enough to realize their dreams of

attending college, pursuing careers,

getting married, and having children.

This is due in large part to the work of the

Foundation and the amazing CF

community. We helped discover the gene

that causes CF, created a state-of-the-art

model for CF care, and have funded

groundbreaking research. But we’re not

done. We are working every day to build

on this incredible momentum, and we

won’t stop until there is a cure for all

people living with CF.

2019 RICHMOND’S FINEST & BREWER’S BALL A CELEBRATION OF RICHMOND’S FINEST BEER, FOOD & DIFFERENCE MAKERS

campaign + event overview The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Richmond’s Finest and Brewer’s Ball is an event honoring Virginia’s best

and brightest young professionals and emerging leaders for joining in the fight to end CF.

CFF Finest Honorees show exemplary leadership, are active in their communities, and excel in their profession

or business. These leaders are committed to making a positive local impact and to supporting the CFF mission to

an evening of beer, food, music and revelry to help provide those living with CF the opportunity to lead full,

productive lives.
