Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multi-organ disease affecting primarily the lungs and the digestive system. In the lungs, CF causes severe breathing problems. A build-up of thick mucus makes it difficult to clear bacteria and leads to cycles of infection and inflammation, which damage the delicate lung tissues. They must follow a demanding daily routine of physical therapy to keep the lungs free of congestion and infection.

Cystic Fibrosis has been an official philanthropy of Delta Phi Epsilon since 1958. In appreciation of the Sorority's fundraising efforts, the CFF named a research fellowship in honor of Delta Phi Epsilon.

Our association raises funds and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis through our annual Bowl for Breath tournament. We encourage everyone to come out and have fun while raising money for this great cause.
