HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As we come to a close of 2024, we offer our gratitude one last time for an amazing year of fundraising and progress towards a cure for cystic fibrosis! There is still time to make one last donation to help push us towards our goal of $400,000! We are only a couple of thousand dollars short of this goal. Beginning 2025, we will renew our Team Run for Roses through our local Great Strides program for the last time. We will not have any fundraisers, but only ask for your support by joining our team and making a small donation of anything from $25, $65 or whatever your heart will allow.
Donations may be made on our Great Strides Team Run for Roses link. You may also donate via Venmo: TheRoseFoundation-CF (please use friend to friend option to avoid fees for non-profit).
We hope you will continue to support Team Run for Roses. Please consider us for matching donations through your companies as well as nominating The Rose Foundation for a company dress out day or company charitable program.
YOUR Donations are at work: In 2025, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is stepping up research in genetic therapies. They are collaborating with leading-edge biotech companies to apply the world’s best science to CF. In 2024, the CFF has expanded the number of genetic therapies in their drug development pipeline to a total of 14, with six in early-stage clinical trials! Research is also expanding in gene editing, moving towards that cure for CF The CFF is also advancing the next generation of modulator therapies – the next modulator after Trikafta will become available by early 2025! The importance of this is that children who take modulators earlier in life may experience fewer CF complications! YOUR Dollars also help those living with CF meet their health challenges like finding health insurance, fighting infections, CF-related diabetes, reproductive issues, advanced lung disease, and mental health issues related to CF. Between now and 2030, the CFF anticipates spending $2 billion to advance research, care, and support in our CF community.
With our New Year right around the corner, we pray for continued support of YOU good folks! You are giving the gift of a healthier life to so many.
THANK YOU!
Our work is not done.
So, we continue… ’til CF stands for Cure Found for ALL!
