BreatheCon is a free, two-day virtual event September 25th - 26th, where adults with CF ages 18 and older come together to discuss their unique experiences through open and honest dialogue, while celebrating the power of community and connection.

This year's BreatheCon is all about finding “your person” to connect with beyond CF, so we have a chance to see each other beyond just our similar diagnosis. In addition, BreatheCon will provide opportunities for everyone to find a place in the CF community, even if you've felt that you don't belong.
BreatheCon will feature keynote panels, group chats, fun activities, and small-group video breakouts on issues that are unique to people living with cystic fibrosis. Come share, connect, and learn while supporting each other and being inspired by one another.

Please join us for our annual scientific update with a focus on mental health in the CF community and how the care centers are engaged. Guest speakers are Dr. Beth Smith; Chief of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Buffalo; Chris Kvam; Patient Advocate and Adult with CF; and Winsome Sewell, LCSW Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York. Moderated by Paula Lomas; Sr Director of Clinical Communications, CFF.

The Breath of Life Gala is the annual signature fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Greater New York Chapter. This high profile event attracts corporate leaders, tastemakers, and influencers from the New York Metropolitan area.
