The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care.

Cystic fibrosis is the #1 genetic killer of children and young adults in the USA. Southern Louisiana has the highest rate of the disease per capita in the country. The Louisiana Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation raises money for our mission through special events all over the region.
