I am honored to be selected as one of this year’s New York Elite honorees. New York’s Elite represents a group of leaders across the Metro NY area who are dedicated to professional growth and to supporting a fundraising and awareness campaign that advances the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and its mission to find a cure for CF.

My name is Christopher Fasullo and I am fundraising on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because this cause represents one of the most urgent and inspiring medical challenges of our time. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disease that impacts the lungs, digestive system, and many vital organs. While major breakthroughs have been made, there is still no cure—and thousands of people continue to rely on continuous treatment just to maintain basic health.

My drive to support the CF Foundation comes from learning how transformative research can be. Treatments developed over the past decade have added years—and in some cases decades—to the lives of people with CF. Yet nearly 10% of the CF community still has no access to effective therapies. The progress we’ve made is remarkable, but the work is far from finished.
That is why I’m asking for your support.
Every donation directly fuels innovative research, accelerates new treatments, and helps ensure that every person living with CF has the chance to lead a long, healthy life. Your contribution powers the science, the advocacy, and the breakthroughs that will one day lead to a cure.

I know you have many opportunities to give. But this cause is urgent, impactful, and capable of changing the future for tens of thousands of people who rely on advancements in CF research.

Thank you for considering a donation and for joining me in the fight to end cystic fibrosis.
