Details: * On August 1, 2014, AbbVie and Cystic Fibrosis Research, Inc. (CFRI) announced a partnership to expand awareness of proper nutritional habits in the cystic fibrosis (CF) community through the CFChef Shares program. CFChef Shares will run from August 1 to September 15, 2014, as part of AbbVie\'s CFChef program – an online resource for CF patients and caregivers – to encourage patients to maintain a healthy diet by submitting recipes to the Chef4CF.com Online Cookbook. The program will begin at the CFRI 27th National Family Cystic Fibrosis Education Conference, on August 1-3, 2014, in Redwood City, Calif. AbbVie is kicking off this partnership with a one-week call for recipes: AbbVie will donate an additional $5,000 if 50 recipes are submitted to the CFChef Shares website by August 8. The partnership will continue with additional donations of $10 to CFRI for each recipe submitted to the CFChef website during this six-week period, up to $10,000. CFRI will put the money raised during the donation period toward providing educational resources and support for increasing awareness among patients of the importance of maintaining a proper CF diet. The public has an opportunity to help donate an additional $2 per recipe by sharing any of the recipes in the Online Cookbook on social media.
