| Joker's Wild Casino Night |
 |
|
|
Special thanks to the many supporters of the 2012 Joker’s Wild Casino Night! The event grew substantially with an increase of 100 new attendees! The tremendous generosity demonstrated by so many is now making a tangible difference in the lives of the 30,000 children and adults with cystic fibrosis!

| Because of risks to people with cystic fibrosis (CF), individuals with a confirmed positive sputum culture for Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) complex shall not attend this event. This is because B. cepacia can be passed between individuals who have CF through close proximity. B. cepacia infection in a person with CF can cause serious respiratory illness and, in some patients, may lead to death. Despite this policy, there might still be some individuals with B. cepacia in attendance. B. cepacia is not a risk for otherwise healthy individuals. For alternative ways to participate and for information about this policy, please contact the CF Foundation at (800) FIGHT-CF or visitwww.cff.org. Consult your CF care center physician with medical questions. |
