WHAT IS CF?
APPROXIMATELY
1,000
new cases
of CF are diagnosed
each year.
MORE THAN
30,000
people
are living with
cystic fibrosis.
MORE THAN
10 million
Americans
are symptomless carriers
of the defective CF gene.
MORE THAN
One
half
of the CF population
is age 18 or older.
LEADING THE WAY
Nearly every CF drug therapy was made
possible by the Foundation.
Because of our efforts, people with cystic fibrosis are living longer, healthier lives and pursuing dreams they
never before thought possible.

Fundraising Reminders
• Rule of Thumb: if 100% of proceeds go to CF, then
you can fundraise this way
• Point of Sale Fundraising: Store pinups, collection
containers, roundups, etc. at the cash register of a retail
establishment or placement of an option that allows a
contribution at online checkout is acceptable, the
business here is acting as a volunteer fundraiser for the
Foundation.
Fundraising Reminders
• Prohibited Fundraising: the below are examples of
prohibited fundraising activities:
○ Percentage of sales campaigns
○ Games of chance
○ Raffles, opportunity drawings, sweepstakes, door
prizes
○ Poker, casino games, 50/50, bingo, lotteries
• Questions: If you want to know if you event or initiative
is compliant, ask Lauren.
