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.

Introducing A Passion for W**e’s 2026 honoree, Dr. Casandra “Cassie” Arevalo.

Dr. Arevalo is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division Chief of Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, and Director of the Mountain State Cystic Fibrosis Center at WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital.

She joined the WVU Medicine Children’s team in 2018, driven by a simple passion to make cystic fibrosis care better. She continues to turn this passion into progress by fostering the collaboration and innovation needed to move closer to the ultimate goal: a cure for every person with CF.

In her eight years at WVU, she has found a community she loves, a purpose worth fighting for, and a team that makes the impossible possible.

Purchase a ticket to join us as we honor Dr. Arevalo at A Passion for W**e on Friday, Nov. 20. The evening will also include chef-crafted bites, premium w**e selections, live music, exciting auction items, and inspiring stories from our community.
