Dear ShamRockin' Nation,

We wanted to make you aware that the decision has been made to postpone ShamRockin' for a Cure. Out of an abundance of caution, the CF Foundation has decided to postpone or cancel all in-person CF Foundation events scheduled to occur between March 16 and April 12, regardless of location. With the COVID-19 situation evolving quickly, we believe we must act decisively in order to minimize risk for the CF community and do our part to slow the spread of this outbreak across local communities. You will be receiving an email shortly from Dr. Mike Boyle, CEO, CF Foundation, regarding COVID-19 and more about our current response to this ever evolving landscape.

It is our hope to host a ShamRocktoberfest event this fall. We will honor ticket sales and sponsorships at that time. We hope to confirm the new date in the next week. 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 will also be reaching out to all sponsors, volunteers, and vendors in the next 48 hours.

This decision was made with our community and staff at the heart of it. We ask for your patience as we work through next steps. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. We are grateful for your understanding as we navigate this situation.

Sincerely,

Pam Baker & Lindsey Smith

Important Note on Attendance at Foundation Events: The Foundation is closely following the evolving coronavirus outbreak. We will continue to monitor coronavirus guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and assess whether we need to change any scheduled events.

To reduce the risk of getting and spreading germs at CF Foundation-sponsored events, we ask that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow, and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection. Medical evidence shows that germs may spread among people with CF through direct and indirect contact, as well as through droplets that travel short distances when a person coughs or sneezes. These germs can lead to worsening symptoms and speed decline in lung function.

To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation's attendance policy recommends inviting only one person with CF to attend the indoor portion of a Foundation-sponsored event at a specific time. For the outdoor portion, the Foundation recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times.
