What is Cystic Fibrosis?

“Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States. A defective gene causes the body to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections. These thick secretions also obstruct the pancreas, preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines to help break down and absorb food.” More from http://www.cff.org/home/

Hello,
This will be our third Poker Run & Pig Roast for Cystic Fibrosis. I want to make sure we get all of our support lined up in ample time for our biggest event of the year! It’s good business, it’s good fun and it’s good food. And, of course, we never forget that it’s about continuing our simple tribute to our Customer Service Manager’s late daughter. Jenn, who was very active in raising funds and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. She succumbed to this awful disease in 2001 and over the last two years, we Continued her efforts by helping to raise over $37,000 in her memory. So, please join us - with your help, we’ll surely reach our goal of over $50,000!

Thank you for your much appreciated participation,

Joe Delgado,
President
