CF is a genetic, life-threatening disease that affects the respiratory and digestive systems of 30,000 children and young adults, one of whom is a fifth-grader at Aldrin. She undergoes daily breathing treatments and lung therapies that help break up the thick, sticky mucus in her lungs. She also takes nearly two dozen medications to help her digest food and fight infection. This routine is often overwhelming for this child and her family but necessary for her to live. Please consider joining us on May 24 as we raise money and awareness to help support advances in research and treatments for this disease!!

Everyone playing games pays a $20 registration fee (checks should be made payable to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation). Additional donations will be gladly accepted! 100% of your donations will go directly to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Prizes, snacks and raffle entries are included in the registration fee. Please return the registration form (one for each participant), with signature and payment, in an envelope marked Aldrin PTA to your child’s teacher or the Aldrin office. Questions?
