We are so excited to announce the 13th annual Drives Fore Drake Charity Classic, presented by Window World. Over the past 11 years DFD has raised over $887,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Thank you to all who have participated, donated, or volunteered in the past. It is making a difference! Please join us this year.

Drake is the fourteen-year-old son of Devin & Sallie Staley and is living with Cystic Fibrosis. He is a spunky kid and fierce competitor. Drake loves baseball, basketball, math, sports trivia, UNC Tarheels and raw oysters. Upon meeting him you would never know he is living with an incurable and life threatening disease. Since birth, Drake has participated in clinical trials and has endured hours of treatments to try and keep him well. Daily he wears a vest that shakes his lungs to keep sticky mucus from building up. Over the past year he has taken over 16,000 pills (around 45/day) to maintain health- BUT THAT IS CHANGING! We are thankful that some of these medicines are not only treating the secondary problems caused by CF but they are also targeting the underlying defect. While DFD has been held in Drake’s honor, our hope is that DFD fundraising will make a difference in the lives of all who are living with CF.
