Important note on attendance for people with CF and their families:
The health and well-being of people with cystic
fibrosis is our top priority. Medical evidence shows that certain
bacteria can be passed between individuals who have CF and can lead to worse symptoms and speed decline in lung function. To limit the serious
risk of cross-infection between people with CF, only one person with CF
may be invited to attend the indoor portion of each CF
Foundation-sponsored event. For the outdoor portion of the event, people
with CF should maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from each other.

Please note: People with CF and their families should be aware that individuals with CF might choose to attend Foundation events or meetings without notifying event organizers. We strongly discourage this;
however, we cannot guarantee that only one person with CF will be
present at any indoor Foundation event. For more information, please
call your local chapter.
