Mothers’ Day Celebration

Send cards to sustain CF research and support programs!

CFRI’s annual Mothers’ Day Celebration promotes awareness of CF and is one of our most important fundraisers. We provide you with beautiful cards to send to friends and families, inviting them to help improve the quality of life and health of those living with CF. Inspired by the story of a child who misheard his diagnosis of cystic fibrosis as “sixty-five roses,” the rose symbolizes hope for a cure. This card’s artwork, “Love #18 of 65 Roses,” was painted by Wanda Olson, mother to Michele, who lost her battle with CF at the age of 33. Wanda is creating 65 rose paintings in her daughter’s memory.
