Dear ShamRockin' Nation,

Our committee has come to the decision to not hold ShamRockin’ for a Cure in person this year. Instead, we will hold a special virtual celebration: ShamRockin’ Alone…Together on Saturday, September 26th. This celebration will honor and recognize our sponsors and top donors, our food and beverage supporters, and feature live entertainment.

This decision was made with the health and safety of our community at the forefront. This is a hard time for all Americans, particularly for those individuals who are at high risk – such as people with cystic fibrosis. Despite changes in our plans, we remain laser-focused on advancing our mission to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives.

All ticket holders and sponsors will receive a new receipt reflecting their 100% tax deductible donation. Additionally, anyone who has given in this capacity will be recognized as a ShamRockstar and receive a special commemorative cup as well as additional benefits. However, if you would like to request a refund, please reach out to Linda Blakely, lblakely@cff.org. There may be a delay in our response, but we will reply within 48 hours to your request.

We look forward to sharing more with you about our virtual celebration in the weeks to come. We also look forward to holding ShamRockin’ again in person in 2021. In the meantime, we hope you and your families stay safe and well.

Sincerely,

Pam Baker & Lindsey Smith
ShamRockin’ Co-Chairs

All donations will support our mission, to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.

As of December 31, 2019, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, had unrestricted financial reserves of about 11 times its budgeted 2020 expenses, following a royalty sale in 2014. The sale was made possible by the Foundation’s successful venture philanthropy model, through which we have raised and invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help discover and develop breakthrough CF therapies. This and any future revenue from our model is reinvested into the CF Foundation’s mission to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives.
