After a 2-year hiatus, Wishes & Dreams for CF is celebrating its 27th year of funding and supporting Cystic Fibrosis research and care. Over the past decade we have donated over $1,000,000 to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. For 2022 we are hosting a black-tie optional GALA event on Thurs May 12, 2022. Our Gala is the perfect setting for caregivers, families, friends and supporters of cystic fibrosis to come together and celebrate the extraordinary progress in cystic fibrosis care. Despite the amazing strides, there are still those in need of lifesaving treatments and we will not stop until the cure is found! We hope you can join us for a magical night of live music by Jem & the Vibe, extensive silent auction, fun raffles, signature cocktails, delicious food and exceptional view of the famous Boat House Row all in the lavish outdoor setting of WATERWORKS by Cescaphe.
Complimentary valet parking is included. Please charge up your cell phone as mobile bidding will be a part of this fun filled evening!
