We are looking for volunteers for our 32nd Annual Celebrity Tennis Gala! Celebrating more than 30 years of supporting people with CF, the Celebrity Tennis Gala is hosted at Army Navy Country Club in Arlington as its exclusive charity tennis event. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the splendid outdoor tennis facilities with several options on how to fine-tune their tennis game, from friendly round-robin play against other guests, to taking advantage of club and competitive pros that will be on hand. Guests can also mingle and network with members of the U.S. House, Senate, Administration, Ambassadors to the U.S. and leading Washington corporate executives. You don’t have to be a tennis player to enjoy this unique event! It is a family friendly affair, and will be moved indoors if weather is inclement.

Mission Statement
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.
Description
The Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to cystic fibrosis. It funds and accredits more than 115 CF care centers, 95 adult care programs and 50 affiliate programs, and more than 75 chapters and branch offices nationwide
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Is...Building on Success
- When the Foundation was established in 1955, children with CF were not expected to live long enough to attend elementary school. Due in large part to the Foundation's aggressive investments in innovative research and comprehensive care, many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
- In 1989, CF Foundation-supported scientists discovered the defective gene that causes cystic fibrosis--a monumental breakthrough on the road to a cure.
- The Foundation has played an integral role in the development and FDA approval of four therapies that are now a routine part of treatment regimens for many with CF. The Foundation is actively supporting approximately 30 potential new treatments currently in development--that's more than in the entire history of the disease. Our challenge is to find enough patients to join clinical trials to keep the research moving forward.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Is...Still Making Progress
We are proud of our achievements. But, we still have much to do. Learn more about what the Foundation does to fight cystic fibrosis and how you can get involved .
