Hi friend,

My name is Matt Rogers and I am thrilled that I will be the emcee for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s first national Breath of Life Celebration, Together: Curing CF on Thursday, November 19 at 8 p.m. EST.

Matt & Teri Rogers, Brayden (14), Mason (12), Sam (6)

During this special occasion, we will come together online to celebrate all that the CF community has helped make possible – connecting with friends, enjoying beloved entertainers, and raising funds to advance the Foundation’s mission. We look forward to honoring Preston W. Campbell, III, MD, former president and CEO of the CF Foundation, for his transformative contributions over the past three decades to CF care and research.

RESERVE YOUR SEAT

Like many of you, I am looking forward to the Breath of Life Celebration because it will be another moment to fight for the ones I love who have CF. My son, Mason (age 12), and my daughter, Sam (age 6), both live with this challenging disease.

Despite the many ups and downs along our CF journey, we’ve remained positive. Collaborating with the CF Foundation and hosting our own fundraising events over the years has helped us remain hopeful that someday there will be a cure for CF. Events like the Breath of Life Celebration are important because they help us get one step closer to realizing this dream by driving vital research.

My wife and I are optimistic that we will continue to see great progress. This is because of the Foundation and the CF community. When we unite, anything is possible.

I hope you will join me and other members of this incredible community at the Breath of Life Celebration, Together: Curing CF on November 19 from 8-9 p.m. EST. Registration will close one hour before the start of the event (7 p.m. EST), so register soon to reserve your seat!

Finally, I’d like to thank all our sponsors, especially our presenting sponsor – The Huggins Family – for all that you do to move our mission forward.

See you soon!
