Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to Recognize Acadiana's Top Young Professionals
March 18, LAFAYETTE, LA – The Louisiana/Mississippi Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will host Acadiana's Finest, a campaign to raise funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis and recognize the area's top young professional leaders. CF is a progressive, genetic, multi-organ disease that affects 400 people in Louisiana, including many in the Acadiana Area. The campaign will begin on May 1st and conclude with a finale celebration at River Oaks Catering and Event Center on July 24th, where the winner, Acadiana's Finest, will be crowned.
"This is our fourth annual Acadiana's Finest event. We are very excited to meet this year's honorees and help them develop their philanthropic efforts in the community, network with other like-minded professionals and support the mission of the CF Foundation, to find a cure for the disease," said Cassondra Guilbeau, Development Coordinator for the Louisiana/Mississippi Chapter.
Acadiana's Finest is a fundraising competition in which young professionals "compete" to raise the most funds and awareness for the CF Foundation. Each candidate is charged with raising funds and awareness through their personal and professional networks. The candidate who raises the most funds will be crowned Acadiana's Finest at the finale celebration on July 24th.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis, funding more research than any other organization and driving the development of new therapies that have significantly improved and extended the lives of people with CF. The Foundation's goal is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care.
