The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF). The Foundation funds more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. As a nonprofit donor-supported organization dedicated to attacking cystic fibrosis from every angle, the Foundation’s 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.

Senior Associate Brooke Bowman has recently been honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for her success in business and leadership in the community. In accepting this distinction, she has further committed to raise money to help the Foundation realize its mission of controlling and curing CF. We encourage you to join Brooke in supporting this important cause and reaching her fundraising goal by making a contribution via this link.
