    Christmas in November - Gift Basket Drive

    Annually, we are stretched for ways to raise funds without contributing to burning out our sponsors with our constant requests. We want to contribute to enhancing the lives of others bringing value to them as they seek to aid us in achieving our objectives of helping those who have Cystic Fibrosis. In our environment which is challenging people of all walks, we need to make a difference. During the year, CF affected families were impacted by increased medical care costs for t

    Special thanks to our sponsors and donors

    People helping people, creates an atmosphere that is not adequately described in words. It warms the hearts of both the givers and recipients. Volunteers who help with the connection process also feel a sense of accomplishment, especially when everything goes well. 2018 was one where we realized the achievement of being able to assist more families affected by Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in very tangible ways to so they can better cope with this expensive and deadly illness.

    The improvement of testing

    12 years ago, the process of testing for Cystic Fibrosis [CF] was quite different when administering the sweat test. How do we know? We found out from The Turtons who happen to be getting their last child tested. Keila's older brother Josha has CF, and therefore she's at high risk for also having the illness as well. As you may be aware, the testing cannot be done locally within the Caribbean, and therefore we must trek to the metropolitan areas for diagnosis and treatments.

    Presidential Thoughts for 2018 - A Cffb Perspective

    There's so much to consider when running a charity. It takes effort to keep the charity in the forefront of the minds of those who are served and who are willing to serve. Sometimes the sheer magnitude of the tasks that need to be completed can be quite daunting. Despite these seeming challenges; it just needs to be done. Now that we're past the "warm 'n fuzzies" of entering a new year. You then have to knuckle down and realize there is a lot of work to be done. Meeting with

    Our Annual Walk's Getting Closer

    Are you excited?!? Lots of people will be with the highly anticipated annual 5KWalk/Run. Just check the above flier for details. Every year we grow bigger as more walkers and runners become aware of our efforts. Saving lives is key to why we do it.

    Organization - It's in the details

    The success of an organization benefits from the attention paid to the details. This is known first hand by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Barbados; who have come a very long way within a short time frame. Has it been easy? No! Not by any stretch of the imagination. The achievements of the Cffb have come about as a result of the tireless efforts of the leadership and the volunteers. Throughout the year, there are constant meetings and communication where ideas, techniques,
