CFF Announces 2016 “Best & Brightest” Honorees

I am thrilled and humbled to announce that I have been selected by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of Charleston’s Best & Brightest Finest Professionals!

This will be the fifth time that The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) honors a select group of men and women from the area that “exemplify strong leadership qualities, are active in their community, and have excelled in their chosen professions.” In September, we will be honored by CFF during a special event at Charles Towne Landing.

The entire list of honorees is below:

In accepting this distinction, we have committed to raise money to help CFF realize its mission of controlling and curing cystic fibrosis. Please help me meet my fundraising goal by making a donation. You can donate to my campaign HERE.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptom-less carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now.

When the Foundation began in 1955, most children with CF did not live to see their first day of elementary school. Today, the median predicted age of survival for a person with CF is in the mid-30s. This is remarkable progress, but not good enough. We continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis.

If you are a business that is interested in sponsoring the event in September, or would like to help me with fundraising, just send me an e-mail at heyholycitysinner@yahoo.com.
