Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Iowa Chapter

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Iowa Chapter We're helping to advance the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s mission to cure cystic fibrosis.

About CF:
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of approximately 40,000 children and adults in the United States. More than 10 million Americans are unknowing, symptomless carriers of a defective CF gene.

Meet one of our co-chairs for Celebrate 65 Roses, Jaci Strube. An active leader in the cystic fibrosis community, Jaci is the mother of a 12-year-old with CF and has made it her mission to help advance progress toward a cure.

She serves on the CF Foundation's Volunteer Leadership Council and Financial Wellness Steering Committee. Jaci is also the foundation's former national advocacy co-chair and former Iowa advocacy chair and served on the Iowa Chapter Board for nine years.

Her additional volunteer work includes serving on the Nebraska Medicine Children's Hospital CF Advisory Board and the Blank Children's Hospital Family Advisory Board, as well as organizing meals for the Ronald McDonald House in Des Moines.

We are grateful for Jaci's dedication and the impact she continues to make in helping bring us closer to a cure.

Meet Tyler, one of our Celebrate 65 Roses co-chairs.

Tyler is a committed advocate in the cystic fibrosis community, motivated by both personal loss and present‑day connection. Tyler grew up alongside multiple friends who battled cystic fibrosis and lost a friend who died at the age of 39, and another very close friend to the disease at the young age of 33 — experiences that left a lasting impact and a deep respect for the urgency of the Foundation’s mission.

More recently, his involvement has become even more personal as his son’s close friend and next‑door neighbor lives with CF, reinforcing the importance of continued progress toward better treatments and an eventual cure. As Co‑Chair, Tyler is focused on lending his voice, leadership, and network to help advance awareness, strengthen community support, and drive meaningful fundraising impact for families affected by CF. Thank you for helping make Celebrate 65 Roses a reality!
