Gateway Chapter - St. Louis, MO

As schools start to reopen, how can parents, students and households living with CF make the best decisions for them around distance and in-person learning? Join us for a virtual event on Thursday, July 30, at 7:00 p.m. ET, as clinical experts discuss the risks and benefits, key factors to consider, and respond to audience questions.

We're thrilled to offer this life-changing experience once again in October of 2020! The CFF Gateway Chapter's 8th annual Fall Xtreme Hike!

Register and participate virtually in the 65 Roses Challenge and help us stay the course and advance our mission in an uncertain time. While we can't be together in person, we can be together in spirit and participate virtually - showing the strength of our community and passion to find a cure for all people living with cystic fibrosis.

From Sunday, Aug. 16 through Sunday, Aug. 30, more than 25 local food vendors and breweries in the Gateway region will offer FestivAle ticket holders a free pint, sampling or tasting of their choice. We will mail you a Bingo card, and each square will contain the logo of a participating vendor.

The entire CF community is invited to a CF research webinar on Tuesday, August 25 from 6-7 pm ET to learn from experts about current and upcoming research efforts to address key infection priorities, including nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Aspergillus, and phage therapy. Attendees will also have the chance to ask infection research-related questions during the audience Q&A.

For 30 years, Great Strides - the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest national fundraising event - has supported the Foundation's mission to cure cystic fibrosis and raise awareness for this rare, genetic, life-shortening disease that makes it difficult to breathe and shortens lives. Great Strides provides a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together and make a difference in the lives of people with CF.
