history

Sal was diagnosed at birth (2001) with the genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis. In order to help find a cure for CF, in 2003 a special group of family and friends came up with idea of "Sal's Pals" Charity Event. The charity event consists of dinner, entertainment, drawings, door prizes, national sponsors and live and silent auctions. The event has continuously been a sell-out with much success in part to our local and national sponsors as well as a long list of celebrities that have helped join in on our cause.

One-hundred percent of the proceeds are presented to the CF foundation at The "Great Strides" walk-a-thon held nationally each year. "Great Strides" is the primary fundraiser for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Ninety cents of every dollar given to the CFF goes directly to research for a cure and into finding new life saving medications so desperately needed for survival.

Sal's Pals has raised over $578,000 in 9 years. This proves that everyday people can make a difference in this world! Together we can give a future to many children, adults and families that a cure will be found for people like our little Sal.
