Each year the CFLF gains greater public support through the many ways in which people are able to join the CFLF effort.
The CFLF has been generating a number of fundraising events in various geographic areas. Currently the Northeast holds the majority of events with functions in Vermont, Massachusetts and New Jersey. While the CFLF Board of Directors is located across the US, there are plans to grow our fundraising locations as well. Please look through the pages in this area to virtually join us at current CFLF events.
Many smaller initiatives to help the CFLF have been created by those who have realized the importance of the CFLF mission in some way. Whether it is a Grant Recipient, their family and friends, a local company or team of hospital care-givers, the support that comes through these events are incredible ways that people get behind the CFLF.
