Medical evidence shows that certain bacteria can be passed between individuals who have CF and can lead to worse symptoms and speed decline in lung function. To limit the serious risk of cross-infection between people with CF, only one person with CF may be invited to attend any indoor CF Foundation-sponsored event. Please note: People with CF and their families should be aware that individuals with CF might choose to attend Foundation events or meetings without notifying event organizers. We strongly discourage this; however, we cannot guarantee that only one person with CF will be present at any indoor Foundation event. For more information, please call us at 248-269-8759.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation What is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. A defective gene causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening infections. The disease occurs in one of every 3,500 live births and about 1,000 new cases of CF are diagnosed each year. Cystic fibrosis affects 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. and 70,000 people worldwide. Ten million people in the U.S.—or one in 30—carry the defective CF gene. Today many people with CF are living into their 30s, 40s and beyond. OUR MISSION The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. We fund more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. We are a non profit donor-supported organization dedication to attacking cystic fibrosis from every angle. Our focus is to support the development of new drugs to fight the disease, improve the quality of life for those with CF, and ultimately to find a cure. EFFICIENCY The Foundation is an accredited charity of the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance, meeting all of its Standards for Charitable Accountability. We take great pride in being one of the most efficient and effective organizations of our kind, and are careful stewards of every dollar raised in support of our mission. SUPPORT The Foundation receives no federal funding, therefore, we depend on the generosity of individual donors, corporations and foundations. Continued support of our mission is critical to finding a cure and improving the lives of those with CF. By partnering with the CF Foundation, you are investing in the lives of those living with CF. Working together, we can make CF stand for “Cure Found!” Violet, age 3 Cystic Fibrosis Foundation | 2265 Livernois, Suite 410 Troy, MI 48083 | 248.269.8759 | scollins@cff.org
