FUNDRAISING NEWS

E-card to fight CF

Ukraine -- On March 1, 2005, the All-Ukrainian Pediatric Congress presented the Ukrainian CF Society with a check for 6000 euros. Solvay and CFW raised funds when Internet users clicked on an electronic card on the CFW website. The Ukrainian CF Society used the funds to purchase diagnostic tools to promote CF diagnostic testing in the Ukraine.
This fundraiser is a continuation of Solvay Pharma initiative to collect funds for Cystic Fibrosis societies around the world. Solvay’s voluntary initiatives and contributions, (i.e. financial, in-kind donations, expertise, etc), continue to make a difference to millions of needy people worldwide.
Solvay and CFW wish to thank all of the CFW web site visitors and friends who helped by clicking the “E-card to fight CF.”
