Frequently Asked Questions

National Teams make a difference by raising awareness about cystic fibrosis and raising funds to support the Foundation's mission to find a cure for CF. A National Team is a team that participates in three or more events. They can participate in multiple types of event — Great Strides, CF Cycle for Life, CF Climb, Xtreme Hike — or three different occurrences of the same type of event. It's up to you!

National Teams each set a collective annual fundraising goal of $10,000. In 2022 National Teams collectively raised over $4.5 million.
