Being generous has many of the same health benefits as being thankful!  Research shows that giving can boost your physical and mental health in numerous ways because it provides serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. When we give to others, it makes us feel happy and connected to others. Research also supports that giving can lower blood pressure and reduce stress!

Generosity is for everyone, but not everyone can give in the same way. We encourage you to take inventory of your resources and skills and consider how you can help:

Donate. One way to support BreatheStrong CF is to make a monetary donation. Making monetary donations is very appreciated and helps fund our mission! Donating doesn’t take a lot of time and has the potential for tax benefits. MATCH:  The first $5,000 in donations will be matched through December 6!

Fundraise. Let’s face it—we can’t do it alone. When you fundraise for BreatheStrong CF, you’re directly supporting those living with cystic fibrosis. You’re helping us expand our reach to new communities and raise awareness about our cause. By spreading the word, you’re making a real difference. While fundraising takes time and effort, the personal and collective rewards for BreatheStrong CF are incredible!

Volunteer. Volunteering is great because it boosts happiness, reduces stress, allows you to use the skills you have or helps you learn new skills. It’s a good way to meet people and build your network. Plus, it gives you a sense of purpose and can positively impact our community. While volunteering takes more time than donating, it’s critical to the success of our events.

Participate in fundraising events. Participating in fundraising events, like BreatheStrong CF’s Big Peach Sizzler 10K & 5K and Sizzler To Go helps support us, raises awareness, and connects you with others. It’s a fun way to make a real difference and feel personally fulfilled! Participating in fundraising events is a great opportunity for those with the time and financial ability to give.

Engage in social media. Engaging on social media helps BreatheStrong CF by increasing awareness, reaching new supporters, and spreading important messages about cystic fibrosis. When you share posts, participate in conversations, or promote events, you help amplify our mission, attract donations, and build a larger community of people committed to the cause. It’s an easy way to make a big impact and connect with others who care about CF. Engaging in social media takes the least amount of time and costs nothing!
