Grazie! On behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the families we serve, thank you for helping to make the 16th Annual Grand Chefs Gala another big success.
It was a wonderful evening of great food, great desserts, great drinks and great friends coming together to raise significant funds for CF research and care programs. We are very excited to report that we are projecting a net total of $525,000, nearly $25,000 over 2012! . These successes would not be possible without the generosity of our volunteers and supporters giving of their time, talents, and treasures to support our cause.
Although the event is over, we are already looking to 2014 and the successes it will bring. If you are interested in joining our planning committee for the Gala, you can contact Kim Mills at kimills@cff.org. There is also still time to donate to this years’ event. Every penny gets us closer to our end goal: making CF stand for Cure Found. To donate, please click here.
For those that may not have seen the video we showed during the event, we have included the link below. This video captures the daily life and struggles as well as the hope CF patients and their families are living with. These are all individuals local to the Chicago area. Please know that your support of this event has directly benefited all of their lives. A special thank you to LimeGreen for the production of this video.
Thank you all and we look forwarded to celebrating with you again at the 17th Annual Grand Chefs Gala scheduled for Friday, January 31, 2014! Grazie!
