Breath of Life on Broadway Brings a New York Stage to the CFF Benefit
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s November 19 Gotham Hall benefit combines a Broadway theme with support for research and specialized care.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Greater New York Chapter is giving its Breath of Life benefit a Broadway frame. The November 19 gathering begins at 6 p.m. at Gotham Hall, with cocktails, dinner and performances in the announced program.
The change in format gives the evening a distinctly New York cultural setting. The official event page introduces Breath of Life on Broadway as the next version of the chapter’s established gala. It does not name performers, so the Broadway theme should not be mistaken for a confirmed cast or admission to a separate theater production.
The cause behind the program
The foundation supports cystic-fibrosis research, drug development and specialized care. Its ticket page explains that revenue from its venture-philanthropy model is reinvested in its mission. A gala ticket supports that wider work; the campaign’s displayed fundraising goal is not a report of money already raised or spent.
Admission and advance planning
The official ticket form lists a $1,500 individual ticket and a $650 junior ticket for guests under 30, alongside sponsorship options. Advance registration and the foundation’s event attendance policy apply. Guests with cystic fibrosis should review the organizer’s specific attendance requirements directly. The checkout currently also flags a temporary restriction on accepting payments from California residents.
Our existing event guide retains the original edition and official artwork. Use that permanent page for the program and admission link, and the New York gala calendar to place it within the November benefit season.
