Cystic fibrosis remains a devastating disease, but together we can change this.

On Saturday, October 14, 2023, the Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute (CFRI) will host our “Breath of Fresh Air” gala at the Hillsborough Racquet Club, Hillsborough CA, to raise funds for cystic fibrosis (CF) research and support programs. Every year, hundreds of attendees participates in our gala which included music, celebrity appearances, tales of inspiration, and a very engaging auction. Please join us in finding a cure. 

Since 1975, CFRI, a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization, has funded cutting-edge cystic fibrosis (CF) research, while providing vital programs to those coping with the most common fatal genetic disease in the United States. When CFRI was founded, children diagnosed with CF rarely reached adulthood. Thanks to the support of caring people like you, research has advanced therapeutic options for many.

The organization’s impactful reach extends across the nation and globe, providing information, resources and hope.
With your participation, A Breath of Fresh Air will provide critical funds to support the search for a cystic fibrosis cure. CF is a progressive disease. While much progress has been made, there remains no cure, and the median age of death remains in the early thirties. There is still work to be done.

In addition to the festivities and auction, the “CF Champion” award will be bestowed upon a leader in the field. We seek to provide our auction donors with significant recognition for their outstanding leadership, including a mention on our website, social media sites, in our event program, and from the virtual podium.

 
We hope that you will join us in making our Breath of Fresh Air Gala a tremendous success.
