Construct The Cure - South Florida
The South Florida Construction industry (general contractors, sub-contractors and vendors alike) is coming together to form Construct the Cure to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Construct the Cure - South Florida encourages local companies to commit to sign up a local team for any South Florida Great Strides (any walk site of their choice including a virtual walk site) and host a fundraising campaign with their employees. Help us find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF) with the funds raised through your Construct the Cure campaign. Cystic fibrosis a life-threatening genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. Currently, there is no cure. Construct the Cure was created by 3 local CF dads who work in the construction industry and wanted to get their communities' support.
For 2017, Construct the Cure, has set a goal to recurit 5-10 teams for the South Florida Great Strides Walks taking place between April and May. As our key partners across South Florida, we are asking you to join us in the fight for a cure.

Foundation-Sponsored Indoor and Outdoor Events and Gatherings
The Foundation is closely following the evolving coronavirus outbreak. We will continue to monitor coronavirus guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and assess whether we need to change any scheduled events.
To reduce the risk of getting and spreading germs at CF Foundation-sponsored events, we ask that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow, and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection. Medical evidence shows that germs may spread among people with CF through direct and indirect contact, as well as through droplets that travel short distances when a person coughs or sneezes. These germs can lead to worsening symptoms and speed decline in lung function.
To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation's attendance policy recommends inviting only one person with CF to attend the indoor portion of a Foundation-sponsored event at a specific time. For the outdoor portion, the Foundation recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times.
