Thanks to our generous supporters in 2019 we were able to offer a new initiative for our members - paying for their sports registration fees. Keeping physically active is important to help keep airways clear and we know that the costs of playing organised sport can be prohibitive.
With your help we can continue this work in 2020.
Dear Supporter, Thank you so much for your generous support in 2020. It was certainly a challenging year for many individuals, businesses and organisations such as ours. However, we have been overwhelmed by the many donations and messages of support we received throughout the year. We look forward to working hard for the CF community in Tasmania throughout 2021. Kind regards, Staff and members of CFT.
