Happy 21st Work Anniversary to our very talented Development Director (and Great Strides guru 😁), Amy Nyberg!

We are so grateful for your twenty-one years of hard work and dedication! Your sharp eye for detail and ability to untangle our toughest challenges have kept this team moving forward. We don't know what we'd do without your clever resourcefulness! Congratulations!

Double your impact today: https://rva-photo-booth.my.canva.site/2026annualmatch
This year’s $270,500 match is possible because a generous group of donors stepped up first.
Some give in honor of a child, grandchild or family member with cystic fibrosis. Others in the name of someone they have lost. Different stories brought them here, but they share one hope: a future free from CF.
Together, they committed $270,500 in matching funds. Now, every qualifying new or increased Annual Fund gift made through December 31 is matched dollar for dollar.
They made the match possible. Your gift helps unlock it.

Congratulations to Claire Donnelly on crossing the finish line! Claire is from the Kansas City area and she participated in the Chicago Marathon on October 11 as a member of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Breathe Team.

Thank you, Claire, for raising awareness of cystic fibrosis, and for raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!

As Claire said, "Running with Breathe Team was so special. I am incredibly grateful to represent such a great foundation!"

Did you know you can support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through a donor-advised fund (DAF)? A DAF is a charitable giving account that allows you to contribute cash, stocks, or other assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to the causes you care about most. It's a flexible and easy way to support the CF Foundation with a one-time or recurring gift, or in the future as a beneficiary.

Learn more about giving through a DAF: https://www.cff.org/get-involved/other-ways-give

Please consult your DAF sponsor and financial or legal advisor regarding DAF giving. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation cannot provide tax or legal advice.

Help us get to the finish line — and double your impact: https://rva-photo-booth.my.canva.site/2026annualmatch
We’re more than halfway to our $270,500 match goal!
Between now and December 31, every qualifying new or increased Annual Fund gift is matched dollar for dollar. That means twice the impact for people with cystic fibrosis and their families — and twice the impact toward research that brings us closer to a cure.
We can’t unlock the full match without you. Give today and help us reach our goal.

Help us unlock every dollar of this match: https://rva-photo-booth.my.canva.site/2026annualmatch

With help from donors like you, we’ve already reached $121,183 toward the 2026 match — but that means we have $149,317 left to go to reach our $270,500 goal! We need to hit this goal by December 31 to fully unlock these matching funds.

Every dollar counts, and we’re counting on you. Every new or increased gift to our Annual Fund before Dec. 31 is doubled while matching funds last. That’s double the impact for care and support for people with cystic fibrosis and their families and for research that gets us closer to a cure.

09/23/2026

We’re committed to developing a transformative treatment — and ultimately, a cure — for all people with cystic fibrosis. With the generous support of people like you, and our national peer to peer sponsor, Vertex, we’re confident we can continue to make meaningful progress toward this goal.

Help people with cystic fibrosis afford the care they need: https://rva-photo-booth.my.canva.site/2026annualmatch
Cystic fibrosis is relentlessly expensive: care can run tens of thousands of dollars a year. While most people with CF have insurance, the costs still add up to more than many families can afford. Financial stress forces hard tradeoffs, and some people delay treatment or go without care.
That's why most people with cystic fibrosis rely on some form of financial assistance just to keep up. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation helps them find it — and your gift helps funds that support.
Donations are doubled through Dec. 31, up to $270,500.

Thank you for supporting the Kansas Chapter's Great Strides match campaign!

We are excited to announce that, thanks to our amazing supporters, we have met the match!

We are so grateful to Bill & Becki Bassette, Jill Nilson & Stephanie Bush, and Latimer, Sommers & Associates for offering to match any donations to Kansas City Great Strides or Wichita Great Strides or Southwest Missouri Great Strides during the month of September 2026, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000.

Thank you for making an incredible difference for those living with cystic fibrosis!

Help us unlock our biggest match ever by December 31: https://rva-photo-booth.my.canva.site/2026annualmatch
For the first time, six Cystic Fibrosis Foundation chapters across five states have joined forces for a single campaign — and together they've built the largest match in this area’s history: $270,500.
Through December 31, every new or increased gift to the Annual Fund is matched dollar for dollar. One area, all in, for the thousands of people with cystic fibrosis still waiting for treatment.
Help us unlock every dollar. Make your gift today.
