Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30 is an event that recognizes Nashville’s young professionals and philanthropists while benefiting the CFF. Honorees were nominated by co-workers, friends and family for their dedication to their professional and charitable endeavors. The top 30 honorees were then selected by a special sub-committee of the Top 30 Under 30 planning committee during the month of June.
“We were amazed by the caliber of nominees we had this year, the first year of the event,” said 30 Under 30 co-chair, Shelby Adams. “These individuals do a wonderful job representing the Nashville community, their employers and themselves. We are pleased to have them now representing the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well.”
The honorees will be acknowledged at the Top 30 Under 30 event at The Icon in the Gulch on Sept. 19, 2009. The event, open to the public, will highlight each honoree’s accomplishments, feature a silent auction and live auction, and celebrate the CFF’s mission of developing ways to control and one day cure cystic fibrosis.
“This first honoree class is really something and we hope the community will rally behind them by attending the Top 30 Under 30 in September. Come out and meet the present and future leaders of the Music City,” said Top 30 Under 30 co-chair Anne Elizabeth McIntosh.
Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30 will be on Sept. 19, 2009 from 6-10:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $50 or $75 for VIP entry. Tickets will be available through all honorees or by contacting Lesley McMahan at (615) 255-1167 or lmcmahan@cff.org. Visit www.nashvilletop30.org for more information.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Nashville, Tenn., is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing ways to control and cure cystic fibrosis, and improving the quality of life for the approximately 30,000 children and adults with the disease in the United States. Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease, produces unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections as well as obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. Cystic fibrosis, for which there is currently no cure, is the No. 1 life-shortening disease in children and young adults in the U.S.
