Come volunteer for a good cause while enjoying scenic nature in the process! The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is holding its annual Great Strides walk in Long Beach on Saturday, June1st, 2024 from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Why: The event harnesses the power of people with a shared vision and encourages collaboration, team building, and leadership, as we collectively take steps to find a cure. Volunteers are the backbone of our events and we are always excited to cultivate new relationships within the community. 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 while engaging with an inspiring group of individuals. We need volunteers on the day of the event to help things run smoothly.
