Stay tuned for details about this year’s event!


CFRI’s A BREATH OF FRESH AIR – A GALA TO RAISE CYSTIC FIBROSIS AWARENESS AND SUPPORT THE SEARCH FOR A CF CURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! In October 2020, CFRI’s first virtual gala to celebrate research progress and our 45th anniversary was a tremendous success! Thanks to our caring community, we raised over $125,000. The inspirational evening featured diverse voices from our community, music, and the presentation of the 2020 CF Champion Award to the amazing Mary Helmers, RN.

Watch On Demand

A Breath of Fresh Air was sponsored by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, AbbVie, Chiesi USA, Genentech, Gilead Sciences, and NBC Bay Area, with additional support from Alcresta Therapeutics, Foundation Care, Heritage Bank, Mylan, and Alliance Rx Walgreens + Prime.
