The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Western Pennsylvania Chapter, along with UPMC and UPMC Health Plan, are proud to present Pittsburgh's 50 Finest. The chosen honorees exemplify leadership qualities, are active in their communities, and have excelled within their chosen industry. Those selected are among the most prominent, influential and successful young professionals in our city! For more than 28 years, Pittsburgh's 50 Finest have put their creativity, passion and competitive spirit to the test as they’ve worked together to raise funds and awareness to support the mission of the CF Foundation. The 2024 class of Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest are striving to continue to help blaze a trail forward to find a cure for all those living with CF.  

This year’s honorees have committed to professional growth through a guided fundraising and awareness campaign which includes networking, socializing at events, fundraising and connecting with our local CF Community. Their campaign will culminate with the Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest Finale Celebration, on Friday, September 20, 2024 at the Wyndham Grand Downtown. This event aims to celebrate the class’ overall success, as well as to recognize each individual honoree for their outstanding accomplishments.

Thank you to this class for hosting these events to raise funds and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!
