ALL IN FOR CF COMMUNITY FUND
Vertex is committed to supporting nonprofit organizations that help people living with CF and raise awareness about the disease. Types of programming we support include patient education and advocacy initiatives, or an organization’s specific event, particularly those intended to support a healthy, active lifestyle.
In the past year, we have sponsored events that unite the community to raise cystic fibrosis awareness across the country.
