Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Michigan Chapter is hosting the sixth annual Finest Challenge for young professionals, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The nominated honorees exemplify leadership qualities and are active in the community.

*NEW in 2024* Get ready as we go Fowling for Finest this year on Friday, October 18, 2024! Taking place at the Fowling Warehouse in Hamtramck, we invite anyone 21+ to come out for an evening of fun, food, and of course, fowling! Metro Detroit's Finest makes an incredible difference in the fight against CF. We hope you'll join us in our relentless pursuit of a cure. If you or someone you know is a young professional who wants to change their lives and the lives of others, Metro Detroit's Finest is the right place! 

Finest honorees work to spread awareness and raise funds for a cure, while connecting with other young professionals in the area. The chapter will connect honorees with local CF fighters and families, host a kickoff mixer event, and coach you on how to reach your fundraising goal. Honorees will be recognized for their achievements at the Finest Celebration event on Friday, October 18, 2024 at 7:00 pm.

• a young professional between the ages of 21 and 40
