IMPORTANT NOTE ON ATTENDANCE AT FOUNDATION EVENTS
To reduce the risk of getting and spreading germs at CF Foundation-sponsored events, we ask that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection.
Medical evidence shows that germs may spread among people with CF through direct and indirect contact, as well as through droplets that travel short distances when a person coughs or sneezes. These germs can lead to worsening symptoms and speed decline in lung function. To further reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation’s attendance policy recommends inviting only one person with CF to an indoor Foundation-sponsored event at a specific time.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has unrestricted financial reserves of about 10 times its budgeted 2019 annual expenses, following a one-time royalty sale in 2014. These funds, along with the public’s continuing support, are needed to help accelerate our efforts to pursue a lifelong cure for this fatal disease, fund development of new therapies and help all people with CF live full, productive lives. To obtain a copy of our latest Annual Report, visit https://www.cff.org/About-Us/Reports-and-Financials/, email [email protected] or call 1-800-FIGHT-CF. Financial statements available at State Division of Consumer Affairs, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, P.O. Box 1163, Richmond, VA 23218.

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.
A CURE FOR ALL
WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY, but we are not done yet. Although we have exciting new scientific breakthroughs and treatments for 90% of our population, WHAT ABOUT THE REMAINING 10%? We not only need treatments, but a cure for everyone. You can be a part of the cure.
LET’S BE RELENTLESS — STAY IN THE FIGHT! LET’S MAKE CF STAND FOR CURE FOUND. YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL.

“Oct 21st, 2019 was an incredible day for the CF community — the day we got approved to take the fight to the actual genetic
cause of CF with Trikafta. I’d like to think of it as the beginning of the end for CF and the suffering of so many, including our son, but I also
realize we have so much more to do for those with serious infections and especially the 10% of CF patients without an effective treatment to beat
back CF. So much more to do!”
Chris Leahy, CF Dad
