The Boomer Esiason Foundation is a partnership of
leaders in the medical and business communities joining with a committed
core of volunteers to provide financial support to research aimed at
finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. The Foundation works to heighten
education and awareness of cystic fibrosis and to provide a better
quality of life for those affected by cystic fibrosis.
The Boomer Esiason Foundation works to ensure that:
| |
researchers and scientists
working on finding a cure for cystic fibrosis have the resources
they need to expand and accelerate their efforts; |
| |
doctors and caregivers have
access to effective and innovative treatments that ease
suffering and enhance the lives of those stricken with cystic
fibrosis; |
| |
people from all walks of life
are educated and motivated to become active participants in the
ongoing battle against cystic fibrosis; |
| |
those directly affected by
cystic fibrosis are encouraged and empowered to fully understand
this deadly disease and to take active roles in combating it;
and |
| |
students and hospital staff
are provided with the financial resources and educational tools
they need to prepare for life's challenges and to create a
legacy of quality healthcare for generations to come. |
Boomer Esiason vowed to eliminate the threat of cystic fibrosis after
his young son, Gunnar, was diagnosed with the disease in 1993. Boomer
and his wife, Cheryl, are strongly committed to supporting this critical
research to discover the cure for cystic fibrosis that they believe
could be near.
