Join us at the 2019 65 Roses Gala for a unique and memorable evening of fine dining, entertainment, and fundraising in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. This event will also feature exciting live and silent auction items with a Paris inspired theme of “La Nuit en Rose."
Since our first 65 Roses Gala in 2001 we have raised over $4 million for life changing cystic fibrosis research, care and advocacy. During this time, we have also seen the estimated median age of survival for someone with cystic fibrosis increase to 52.3 years. This is among the highest in the world, however there is still much to do.
