".....if we don't care, who will?"

As part of the Building Bridges Campaign, CFW has begun working with volunteers to host events that raise funds to build CF care in developing countries and bridge the gap between those who suffer. People born with CF in developed countries are now living beyond 40 and enjoying full and productive lives. Sadly, people born with CF in many parts of the world are still dying in infancy lost in child death statistics with little done to improve their lives or the lives of those to come.

The Building Bridges Campaign is a multi-national campaign to raise funds to support projects that directly improve the lives of people who have CF and those who will be born in the future in under developed nations.

Events are a great way to raise funds to help support CFW and give us the ability to provide educational grants, needed diagnostic and laboratory equipment, supply patients with necessary treatment facilities, equipment and medication to improve and extend their lives.

Events can be something as small as a local car wash, Burke Bear sale or as large as a celebrity golf tournament, Art Auction or bike tour. To help plan an event CFW offers tools and ideas to help get you started.

Harvest Festival Sells Burke To Raise Money for Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide

A successful Burke Bear sale was held at the Sturbridge, Massachusetts Harvest Festival on October 22nd and 23rd. Although the weather was cold, windy and wet, hardy New Englanders came out to vote for the most unique scarecrows, sample homemade baked goods, admire the work of local artisans, go on hay rides, paint pumpkins, and enjoy live music.

These wonderful, caring people also helped us raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide buy purchasing 25 limited edition Boyds Bears. How could anyone resist our adorable Burke P. Bear? Get yours today!

The Festival Sale would hardly have been a success without our small group of dedicated, volunteers. Many thanks go out to Tia, Justin, Nathan, Elsie, Jeff, Paul, Krystin, and Maria (our four year old star salesperson), for putting forth such great efforts to make the event happen. Thanks as well to Michael Glick and all the caring people at the Publick House Historic Inn, who put on the event and generously supplied the organization with a table and covering at no charge for both days.

If you would like to be involved in one of our fundraising events, please contact Janet Puckett, Volunteer Event Coordinator, at 774-230-5903, or Christine Noke, Program Director, at 508-733-6120.
