Concerned Nebraskans for Cystic Fibrosis is working hard to improve the quality of life of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients and their
families,  promote public awareness,  and support research for Cystic Fibrosis.



Concerned Nebraskans for Cystic Fibrosis (CNCF) is a Lincoln based non-profit support group comprised of family and friends of CF
patients.  Organized over 20 years ago,  CNCF has remained a wholly volunteer organization.  Because there is no paid staff to support,  
all proceeds raised by CNCF go directly to CF research,  programs,  and activities for CF patients and their families.

CNCF raises part of their proceeds for CF by having a 'Sixty-Five Roses' Benefit Dance, and  the clowns of 'Clowning Around for
Cystic Fibrosis' volunteer their time and donate all the proceeds to CNCF. All the clowns are family and/or friends of CF patients.

Although extremely important,  fund raising for CF research constitutes only a portion of CNCF activities.  CNCF is committed to
public education about CF to aid in early diagnosis of the disease.

CNCF funds Camp Jenney,  the only summer camp for CF children and young adults in the Midwest,  and one of the few in the United States.  
Every year children with CF from all over come to the site of Camp Kitaki for a week of fun and sun.
It is the help from volunteer nurses, doctors, and respiratory therapists that makes
Camp Jenney possible, and these children are provided a rare opportunity to act like kids.
CNCF is proud to offer this to young CF patients every year at no cost.

CNCF provides scholarships to CF patients for post secondary education and job training programs and grants for other types of
expenses that CF patients must incur.  With the huge expenses for prescriptions,  treatments, and  doctors and hospital bills CNCF
hopes to continue its support for higher education opportunities for CF patients.
