Mission Statement
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.
Description
Play for a Cure is a benefit tournament to raise funds & awareness for Cystic Fibrosis and to find a much needed cure for Jason, a 1st grader at Simpsonville Elementary in Greenville, South Carolina. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that impairs digestion & affects the lungs which can lead to life-threatening infections. All proceeds of this event will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation specifically for Team WE LOVE JASON. There is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis but research is closer than it has ever been & if we are able to maintain funding, there will be a cure found in Jason’s lifetime.
