Sacks for CF Scholarship

When I was in college I received a scholarship through Solvay, so I wanted to pass this information on. If you are in college or are preparing to go to college, you should definitely consider applying for this scholarship!

The Boomer Esiason Foundation has done so many wonderful things for the CF community. They provided money for me while I was living in Pittsburgh awaiting transplant. I am so grateful for such wonderful organizations who truly care about people with CF!

Scholarships Program for Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

Now in its fifth year and with a new supporter, "Sacks for CF" means money in the bank for college students who have cystic fibrosis.

For every sack recorded during NFL Monday Night Football games, Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will donate $1000 to the Boomer Esiason Foundation Scholarship Program.

Solvay has supported the CF community for more than 20 years by providing nutritional, educational, and financial resources to those touched by CF through its SolvayCARES program (learn more by visiting SolvayCARES.com).

Through the BEF/SolvayCARES partnership, "Sacks for CF" funds will be awarded to 30 college students, based on their academic achievements and adherence to daily CF therapy.

"The missions of the Boomer Esiason Foundation and Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have always been closely aligned. Both organizations have a history of supporting the day-to-day needs of those living with cystic fibrosis while not losing sight of the goal to find a cure. Through our SolvayCARES partnership - which includes Solvay's support of our Sacks for CF Scholarship Program - we are working together to make a difference in patients' lives." Boomer Esiason
