Who We Are
The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care. We are fueled by a dedicated group of scientists, caregivers, donors, volunteers, and people with CF and their families who are united by a common goal: to find a cure for this devastating disease and help those with CF live longer, healthier lives. We are driven by a dream that one day, not one person will lose a life, child, sibling, parent, or friend to cystic fibrosis, and we are determined to succeed.
What We Do
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for CF and supports a broad range of research initiatives to tackle the disease from all angles. We host several events and programs throughout the year to support critical funding needed in pursuit of a cure. In Central New York, we host three walks across the region, Xtreme Hike, a golf tournament, and our signature tasting event, Savoring the Salt City.
