The Chapter is always looking for individuals to offer their time. Regardless of the contribution your help is always appreciated and needed. With your help in the area of fundraising we can raise money necessary to supplement the weekly CF treatment clinics held at the U of A Hospital, promote research and support the lung transplant program. The success of these touches the lives of your children in the provision of ongoing quality care and through the quest to find a cure. Ultimately, we are all working towards the common goal: to find a cure for this devastating disease.

Caring for a child with CF can be overwhelming, but the support and fellowship of others in the same situation is comforting. Many of the volunteers at our fundraisers face similar issues and easily share their experiences and how they cope.

Please give some consideration to donating some time to support your local Chapter. Regardless of the amount or type of help given, your help is both needed and appreciated.

The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is an astounding non-profit organization, working to help thousands of children and adults fight this life altering disease.

Without the foundation, its affiliate chapters, and the many people offering their time and expertise, there would not be an organization.

Even with these many volunteers the foundation still requires funding to continue on their successful path. The ultimate goal is the cure for CF. Much of the funding comes as generous contributions from people hoping to make a difference.

The national CF Office is in the process of creating an on-line donation section of their website. When this is finished, we will create a link to that section.
