A NOTE FROM OUR CHAIRS
Dear Friends,
​
We are honored to return as Chairs of the Wine & Roses Gala for a second year. Last year, we were overwhelmed by the generosity and passion of this community, coming together to raise over $1.1 million in the fight to cure cystic fibrosis. This year, we are setting our sights even higher - because the fight isn’t over, and the progress we’ve seen fuels our determination.
​
For our family, this mission is deeply personal. When our son, John John, was born with CF, we held onto hope that one day, a cure would be possible. Today, that hope has turned into expectation. We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, and we invite you to stand with us - because together, we are making history.
​
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you are joining us for the first time or have been part of Wine & Roses for years, your support means everything. Let’s make this a night to remember and bring us one step closer to making CF stand for Cure Found.
With gratitude,
John & Tammie Pickering
ABOUT THE GALA

The Wine & Roses Gala began in 2000 and for 25 years has been an evening that both celebrates progress and further supports the quest for a cure for cystic fibrosis. Thanks to outstanding corporate supporters, over $8.5 Million has been raised since the event's inception, greatly contributing to the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Wine & Roses is a truly elegant evening of dinner and dancing at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek. The evening begins with a champagne reception and is followed by a seated dinner with wine pairings, an incredible live and silent auction, and fun entertainment with live music and dancing until midnight.
Join us as we wine and dine for a cure at our 26th annual Wine & Roses Gala.
