Can you believe it?

We can’t.

We’ve been hard at work getting everything ready for the 4th Annual Country Concert and Motorcycle Ride for Cystic Fibrosis.

The ride, the concert, the food… the fun! Lots to do for everyone in the family including the National Guard rock wall (weather permitting), Young’s Funny Farm therapy animals to pet and feed, basket raffles (aka tricky trays!) Dream Katchr Pony Rides to enjoy, The Moonwalk Guy’s Dunk Tank!, Fun Faces Face Painting, Dave’s Original Tattoo (got ink?), Bike and Rider portraits by GAC Photography and Lisa Ceaser Photography, instant bingo, 50/50, a delicious Pig Roast from Hilltop Farms (while supplies last!), and $1 Coors and Coors light!

There will also be great retail vendors on site who are donating portions of their proceeds that day to our event. Miche bags, Celebrating Home, Man Cave Gifts, 31 Gifts, Lia Sophia, Sunflower Enterprise, Frontier Communications, Good Ol’ Days Hemp Shop, Custom Bead Creations, and much more!

Celebrating Home advisor, Geri Berger has set up a website where ANYONE can order a beautiful candle and proceeds go to Paige and the Country Concert. Click HERE.

T-Shirts are in hand and ready to be ordered. All sizes $10, including Women’s tank tops (NEW THIS YEAR!) in sizes S, M or L. Email star8278@gmail.com to order yours and have it in time to wear that day. I want to see a sea of grey tshirts that day! Let’s unite to fight CF!

We are very proud to offer you something new at this year’s 4th Annual Country Concert and Motorcycle Ride for Cystic Fibrosis.

Bike & Rider Portraits

$10 gets you a ready to display 5×7 professional portrait of you and your bike! What better time, it will be all polished up and ready for the ride.

Available for anyone, you do not have to have a bike to participate!

Listen for the announcement by D.J. Keystone Jukebox shortly after the riders arrive at the American Legion.

Pictures will be taken on a first come, first serve basis somewhere on the grounds of the Legion with the nicest backdrop. After they are processed, printed and matted, listen for another announcement letting you know when and where to go and pick up your picture before you leave!!!

Thank you to Lisa Ceaser Photography and GAC Photography for donating their time and talent for this great cause. All proceeds will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

These results represent a major step forward in the search for a cure and control for cystic fibrosis. Thank you for all of your efforts to help bring us closer to our goal.

Congress is currently making tough decisions about cuts to government programs. These are difficult economic times, and hard budget choices can’t be avoided.

However, we need to ask our elected officials to cut smartly. Now more than ever, we need to make sure that key government agencies have the resources they need to sustain momentum for research and streamline the drug approval process.

Ask your Members of Congress to preserve crucial funding for the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health

Less than two weeks ago, the CF Foundation announced exciting results from the clinical study of a new treatment for cystic fibrosis known as VX-770. The potential therapy now moves to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for final review and approval.

If the FDA faces heavy budget cuts, it will take much longer to move promising potential therapies like VX-770 into the hands of patients. That is added time that many CF patients and people with other diseases cannot afford.

Similarly, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) performs crucial CF research. They are currently creating a new center to help develop scientific discoveries into new medicines.

If the NIH faces significant budget cuts, these breakthroughs may never reach people with CF and other diseases. These potential cuts jeopardize our goal of finding a cure for CF.

Ask your Members of Congress to support vital funding for the FDA and NIH

Thank you! Together, we are making a difference for people with CF.

Mark your calendars…
