The 2024 Backyard Ball, an annual fundraising event hosted by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Central Texas Chapter, was held at Springdale Station. The event brought together community leaders and the CF community for an evening of food, drinks, music and connection in support of finding a cure for cystic fibrosis.
Backyard Ball is the culminating event for the 2024 Austin's Finest campaign in recognition of our Honorees. This year’s honorees were Amber Myers, Anastasia Navach, Asher Quirk, Caitlin Flanders, Lindsay Richards, Sarah Gojer, and Stephanie Solomon. Austin's Finest Honorees are outstanding people who are nominated for their exemplary leadership, active involvement in the community, and business excellence to join in the fight to treat and end CF. Austin's Finest Honorees commit to raising a minimum of $2,500 for the CF Foundation to help advance the mission of the Foundation. This year’s winner of the Finest campaign was Lindsay Richards, who raised almost $15,000 for the CF Foundation and will hold the title until next year’s winner is crowned.
Remi Orlinsky, the mission speaker, shared her family’s story with CF and honored her mother’s memory as she continues to fight for those living with cystic fibrosis. Over $50,000 was raised for life saving research supporting those battling this rare disease. Although there have been recent new treatments extending the lives of those with CF, Stacy Dollar, Executive Director of the Central Texas Chapter says, “We cannot stop until CF stands for Cure Fund.”
