Making a Difference for Cystic Fibrosis

Pret is proud to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation by sponsoring the 38th annual American Airlines Celebrity Ski event, March 2-5, 2023. Together with other sponsors and supporters, the event raised $1.1 million dollars to help in the quest for a cure for CF.

Pret contributed 10 special edition CF Fury X helmets for an auction on the first night of the event. Combined with a few other prizes, these helmet packages generated $44,700 collectively. Pret was also able to raise an additional $6,500 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through helmet purchases by event guests.

"I’m delighted that Pret can help support this event, which has been taking place for 38 years in support of such a worthy cause," says Pret President and CEO Steve Bellefeuille. "Over this period, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has been instrumental in strategically deploying the funds generated to make a phenomenal difference in the lives of those with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Life expectancy for those born with CF was just 17 years at the event’s inception. Through the fantastic work of the foundation’s investment in science, life expectancy is now over 50 years! We look forward to the near future when the quest for a cure for all those with CF is attained."
