Our Mission
The Boomer Esiason Foundation is a dynamic partnership of leaders in the medical and business communities joining with a committed core of volunteers to heighten awareness, education and the quality of life for those affected by cystic fibrosis, while providing financial support to research aimed at finding a cure.
The Boomer Esiason Foundation works to ensure that:
- the brightest researchers and scientists, who every day come closer to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis, have the resources they need to expand and accelerate their efforts;
- dedicated doctors and caregivers have access to innovative and effective treatments that ease the suffering and enhance the lives of the children and young adults afflicted with cystic fibrosis;
- people from all walks of life are educated and motivated to become committed participants in the ongoing battle against cystic fibrosis;
- those directly affected by cystic fibrosis are encouraged and empowered to fully understand this deadly disease and to take active roles in combating it; and
- students and hospital staffs are provided with the financial resources and educational tools they need to prepare for life's challenges and to create a legacy of quality healthcare for generations to come.
To achieve its mission, the Boomer Esiason Foundation sponsors a series of diverse annual fundraising events. It also relies on individual pledges, corporate contributions and philanthropic grants.
