Get Involved and make a difference for CF!
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is planning its annual Great Strides Walks. This is our largest fundraiser of the year. We have 14 locations in May and early June. Come out and join us and make CF stand for a CURE FOUND!
You can create a team or just come as an individual walker and join the fun.
Great Strides is a fun family event that raises over $35 million annually
- In 1955, children born with CF often died before reaching elementary school. Today, the predicted median age of survival for people with CF is more than 37 years. Because of people just like you!
- The foundation is one of the most effective and efficient organizations of its kind. It has received a four-star rating for sound fiscal management from Charity Navigator. CFF is called a model organation. We are very proud that 90 cents of every dollar raised goes back into research.
- Celebrate this accomplishment with us and help us continue the fight.
Walking with these courageous patients and their families inspires everyone to continue the fight.
Great Strides Walks: Ann Arbor - Birch Run - Bay City/Midland - Lansing - Rochester - Detroit - Grand Blanc - Port Huron - Sterling Heights - West Bloomfield - Northville - Hartland - Toledo & Fremont, OH
Our recommendation is for each participant to set a personal goal to raise $150. If you raise more, that's wonderful. We also have sponsorships available for each site or all 14.
Contact Sandy Wilton, Director of Events at swilton@cff.org or 248-269-8759 if you have any questions or if you're interested in getting involved!

Thank you to Sandy for posting information about Great Strides. I just returned from the Detroit Riverfront and have to say that even on a cold and windy day it is a beautiful place for a walk! If you work downtown, grab folks in your office and join us at the end of your workday on May 7th. Everyone could use a moral booster these days. We start walking at 4:30. See you there!
I would like to sign up to walk on this day. Can you refer me to the appropriate website to enroll?
Thanks!
We would love to have you at our walk! The website is: http://www.cff.org/Chapters/detroit/greatstrides/
or feel free to call our office in Troy at 248.269.8759.
Thanks!
