Local campaign honors professionals raising funds for cystic fibrosis research

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Wisconsin Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will host its 13th annual Milwaukee’s Finest campaign celebration on Thursday, May 29 at Pilot Project Brewing in Milwaukee.

Michael Grimm, who joined us on Wednesday, May 14, shared his perspective as a parent of a 7-month-old child living with cystic fibrosis. Each year, honorees are paired with local families like Grimm’s to support awareness and fundraising efforts.

This year’s five honorees include professionals from Delta Defense, NeoStella, EY, SITC and PwC. The campaign challenges each participant to raise at least $2,500 for the foundation.

The Hops for Hope event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, May 29. Tickets and information are available by clicking here.
