Ciao friends, family, and extended (now) familgia,

(For those who do not know me) I'm Cristina O’Rangers, born and raised in Delaware County. You may know me from my lacrosse days at Marple Newtown High School, or more recently through my work with Bella Vita Media Marketing, where I partner with local businesses from Philly to Delco to help them grow and thrive. Or even Girls Night Out, where I help create spaces for women and industry leaders to connect!

I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve been nominated by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of Philly’s Finest Young Professionals; an annual recognition of young professionals making a difference in their communities. (How exciting is this?!)

When I received this nomination, it honestly felt like divine timing. As a young (25 year old) entrepreneur, running a business can sometimes feel isolating and overwhelming, making it easy to lose sight of your why. This felt like the universe reminding me that my purpose goes beyond client work - that I was meant to use my platform to bring people together and give back in a meaningful way.

Why this cause? A few years back, I discovered that a distant cousin of mine - just a few years younger, was living with CF. We connected online, went to a Flyers game, and though our time together was short, it left a deep impression on me. It reminded me that behind every face is a fight we don’t always see and how important it is to give back when we can.

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive genetic disease that affects the lungs and other organs. While research has extended life expectancy significantly, there’s still no cure. Your donation, no matter the size, helps bring us closer to that goal and truly makes a difference.

Here’s how you can support:

• Attend the Philly’s Finest Gala on November 6th
• Sponsor the campaign as a local business
• Share my posts, cheer me on, or just send some encouragement (Please I am going to need it!) 
• Donate—and be part of something bigger than all of us

Let’s make medical history together. And as I always say—live good, sip some wine, and thank yourself for showing up for your community.

With love and gratitude,
Cristina O’Rangers
