The recognition gala will be held on Saturday, July 24, 2010.  Chosen honorees will help raise funds for CF and be celebrated in the process.  Honorees will be featured in the July/August Issue of Inside Northside.

Funds raised by this event will be dedicated to supporting cystic fibrosis (CF) research and care. CF is a genetic disease that affects the respiratory and digestive systems of 30,000 children and young adults. Currently there is no cure for CF. Since 1955, when the CF Foundation was founded, the average life expectancy has drastically improved from 5 to 37 years old due to enhanced drugs and therapies. Recently, two drugs have been shown to cure CF on a genetic level. These drugs are still in clinical trials, but with additional funding researchers hope to make them available as soon at 2012.
