About Us

Driven by urgency. Guided by hope. Focused on a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Our Mission

Advance the Cure is a 501c3 nonprofit foundation dedicated to accelerating progress toward a cure for Cystic Fibrosis while improving the lives of those living with it today.

Our purpose  is to provide support, research, community education, and awareness related to Cystic Fibrosis and to improve the life of Cystic Fibrosis patients and their families. In addition we seek to reach a cure to uncurable debilitating diseases including by not limited to Cystic Fibrosis, provide support to families affected, and provide awareness. 

Everything we do is rooted in the belief that progress is possible—and that together, we can change the future of CF.

Why Advance the Cure Exists

Advance the Cure was founded by the Jack family, who refused to accept “no cure” as the final answer. What began as a personal mission has grown into a powerful movement—uniting researchers, supporters, and communities dedicated to making a real impact.

By pairing critical research funding with community-driven events like Catch the Cure and the Fly Fishing Film Fest, we turn passion into progress and awareness into action.
