MEET DESI
After learning that their 10-day-old
daughter, Desi, was diagnosed with cystic
fibrosis, Jamie and her husband Ross
resolved that they would do all they could
to share her story and find a cure.
“We went into warrior mode,” said Jamie.
“We made a promise that we would do
everything possible, in any way possible, to
help her thrive, survive, and live the dreams
that she decides she wants to live.”
But we’re not done, and we won’t stop
fighting until there is a cure for Desi and for

Our vision is a cure for 100 percent of people living with cystic
fibrosis – we will not leave anyone behind.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has developed more
than 10 treatments – an unprecedented number in a
short span of time – adding decades of life to those with
CF. Thanks to this work, the life expectancy of someone

ABOUT LA to Dallas Finest
Our virtual events and in-person events offer a fantastic opportunity to unify our
community in support of those with cystic fibrosis, as well as play a key role in
helping us achieve our fundraising goal.
We are excited to share that the main event will be
held in-person for a small, gathering of the honorees
and their close friends and family members. The
evening will entail a food, open bar, silent auction
and the award ceremony for our honorees.
We will be collaborating with LA’s Finest as we
collectively raise awareness and funds for the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation. Our goal is to raise $65,000 per
chapter. We will host virtual and in-person events
together leading up to the main virtual event on
Thursday, November 4th.
This sponsorship supports the mission of the CF
Foundation; to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all
people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development,
partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.

have achieved unparalleled advances in the treatment and care of cystic fibrosis. We
will not rest until we have reached our mission: to cure cystic fibrosis and provide all

Dallas’ Finest is a prestigious, select group of men and
women The Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Foundation honors each
year. This group consists of young working professionals,
ages 21-41, who exemplify strong leadership qualities,
active community involvement and a proven track record of
success in their chosen careers. In the past 6 years, we
have honored more than 100 young professionals. I had the
privilege of serving as an honoree in 2020 and was able to
raise over $12,000 in just a few months!
I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when I was 11 months
old and my parents were told my life expectancy was 18
years of age. They were told to not expect me to go to school or live like a normal child
because I would constantly be so sick. Today, I am 28 years old and am married to my
high school sweetheart. We became foster parents in 2020 and I am currently living out
my dream job as a registered dietitian at a cancer center. I get to live a longer and
healthier life because of the CF-specific medications we have available to us - all of
which were made possible because of financial and fundraising support. While we have
made much progress, there are still thousands of people living with CF that do not
qualify for these medications and need medications of their own. We will not and
cannot rest until CF stands for Cure Found. Hence the reason we are so excited for
Dallas’ Finest 2021.
Dallas’ Finest honorees will receive recognition as an exemplary leader from one of the
world’s leading nonprofits. In addition to the recognition, the honorees have the
opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, gain media coverage and save lives
of those living with CF.
Once Dallas’ Finest 2021 honorees are selected, we will host a virtual kickoff reception
to meet other nominees, previous Finest honorees, mentors, CF Foundation staff and
special guests. At the end of the awareness and fundraising campaign, honorees will
attend an event in November to be recognized for all of their accomplishments
and their commitment to the CF Foundation’s mission. We are more committed now
than ever to recognize the honorees for their hard work and commitment to the CF
Foundation.
This year I am honored to serve as the 2021 chair of Dallas’ Finest, and I hope
you will join me in supporting our efforts by nominating someone to participate this
year and/or sponsoring our event.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON ATTENDANCE AT FOUNDATION EVENTS
To minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection, attendees at CF Foundation events must adhere to the following
requirements:
• Face masks strongly encouraged and expected to be worn in accordance with local guidelines. (Note,
children under two years of age should not wear masks due to safety concerns and therefore should not
attend CF Foundation events where there is risk of interacting with someone outside of their household.)
• Follow basic infection, prevention, and control practices by regularly washing hands with soap and water
or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow.
• Persons with CF should consult their physician before participation in any in-person event as they may be
at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
• To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection, CFF’s attendance policy recommends inviting only one
person with cystic fibrosis to attend the indoor portion of an event at a specific time. For the outdoor
portion, the Foundation recommends that all people with cystic fibrosis maintain a safe 6-foot distance
from each other at all times.
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS:
• We strongly recommend that you be fully vaccinated if you plan to join us in-person for the event. If you
do not expect to be fully vaccinated by the event date, we encourage you to participate virtually. (if
virtual option exists)
• All Cystic Fibrosis Foundation staff in attendance at the event have certified to the Foundation that they
have been fully vaccinated.
• We cannot guarantee that all people in attendance at the event, including participants, sponsors,
volunteers, and vendors, have been fully vaccinated.
SPONSORSHIP DISCLAIMER:
• Events may be subject to change at any time, based on health concerns, including concerns based on
guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials. In these
instances when events are moved to a virtual format, sponsorship benefits may be adjusted to suit the
virtual format.
• Sponsors may be required to wear a mask, if they are interacting with event participants or manning a
care and share table, based on venue guidelines, local municipality guidelines and/or the current COVID
situation where the event is taking place.LA to Dallas Finest Sponsorship Commitment Form

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has unrestricted financial reserves of about 12 times its budgeted 2021
expenses. These reserves are a result of the Foundation’s successful venture philanthropy model, through which we have raised and
invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help discover and develop breakthrough CF therapies. With this model, we have received and
may receive milestone-based payments, equity interests, royalties on the net sales of therapies, and/or other forms of consideration. These
funds and any future revenue from our model are reinvested into the CF Foundation’s mission to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all
people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives. To obtain a copy of our latest Annual Report, visit https://www.cff.org/About-
