The Living Breath Foundation Chris & Lori Pappageorgas are Co-founders of The Living Breath Foundation. We became involved with r Welcome to The Living Breath Foundation!

The Living Breath Foundation is a non-profit organization created to help those living with the genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis. We strive to provide individuals and families in California and Arizona with financial assistance and educational scholarships. Providing this financial aid is our attempt to alleviate some of the stresses that can go along with living with a disease such as Cystic Fibrosis. Our funds are raised at our annual "In a Garden of Sixty-Five Roses fundraiser" along with numerous other fundraisers and individual donations throughout the year. The Living Breath Foundation is run by a group of dedicated volunteers and the Pappageorgas family. Without these people, The Living Breath Foundation would not be what it is today!
