The Wine Opener. Sip...Savor...Cure!

About the Event:

When his son, Nicholas, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Sal Capano became

a dedicated and determined volunteer for the CF Foundation. He created the Care

Today…Cure Tomorrow event and never missed an

opportunity to educate the world about CF and

recruit people to help in his quest to raise funds and

find a cure for Nicholas and everyone else who

battles the disease.

Sal Capano passed away in 2008. In tribute, his wife

Lauri and a group of Sal’s friends, affectionately

known as “Sal’s Pals,” continued his “Care Today…

Cure Tomorrow event in the Spirit of Sal Capano” to raise much-needed research

dollars.

Three years ago, event chairs Lauri Capano

and Michael Rankin added a wine-tasting

element to the dinner event and created what

we know today as "The Wine Opener.

Sip...Savor...Cure!” This year, in addition to

enjoying rich cuisines, fine wines and the

opportunity to dance the night away, event

guests will be on hand to help us honor three of South Florida’s Finest Couples.

Nominations are being accepted through

July 1, 2014. Please contact Andi Allen at

[email protected] for more information.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION

What is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disease that primarily affects the

lungs and digestive system. An estimated 30,000 children and adults in the

United States (70,000 worldwide) have CF. In people with CF, a defective gene

and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus

that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections, and obstructs the

pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down food and

absorb vital nutrients.

About the Foundation... The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for

cystic fibrosis. We fund more CF research than any other organization, and

nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation

support.

We are a nonprofit donor-supported organization dedicated to attacking cystic

fibrosis from every angle. Our focus is to support the development of new drugs

to fight the disease, improve the quality of life for those with CF, and ultimately

to find a cure.

When the Foundation was established in 1955, children with CF rarely lived long

enough to attend elementary school. Due in large part to the Foundation's

aggressive investments in innovative research and comprehensive care, many

people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
