Friends Of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (FOCFF) is a not for
profit group in Washington State that supports the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation.
FOCFF's mission is to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis
by raising necessary funding, providing administrative
support and educating the broader community. We know
first hand how this disease effects people as one of the
FOCFF founders lost a brother and several other relatives to
this disease. What is CF? Cystic Fibrosis is a
life-threatening disease that causes mucus to build up and
clog some of the organs in the body, particularly in the
lungs and pancreas. When mucus clogs the lungs, it can make
breathing very difficult. The thick mucus also causes
bacteria (or germs) to get stuck in the airways, which
causes inflammation (or swelling) and infections that leads
to lung damage. Approximately 30,000 people in the United
States have Cystic Fibrosis. An additional ten million
more—or about 1 in every 30 Americans—are carriers of the
defective CF gene, but do not have the disease. Learn

over $6,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and
Mariners Care.
The 2nd Annual Seattle Mariners RBI Club
auction and Mariner-CFF Golf tournament raffle was held at
our May 15th, 2009 luncheon. Thanks to the giving nature of the
attendees we raised over $6,000.00 in only a half hour.
Examples of the really cool items included 4 tickets to go
down on the field and watch the Mariners take batting
practice, Ken Griffey, Jr. autographed baseball and bat, Jay
Buhner autographed Jersey and baseball, JJ Putz autographed
home jersey and more. One lucky club member won two tickets
to play in the June 22nd Mariner-CFF golf tournament
benefiting CFF at Newcastle Golf Club.
Dave Simms of the Mariner Broadcast team
once again volunteered to act as the auctioneer and did a
wonderful job, not only was he a great MC but his insight to
the game made it educational as well! Don't miss out on next
seasons auction! Visit the Seattle Mariners RBI Club web
