Give Gift Cards For A Cure

Support people with cystic fibrosis by donating a gift card for our gift card drive! All donated gift cards will be used at local events to raise money towards supporting our mission to cure cystic fibrosis and to help all people with CF live long, fulfilling lives.

Help us reach our goal of 65 gift cards by September 30th by donating a 100% tax-deductible gift card today.

Tips for Getting Gift Cards

1. Send us an electronic gift card: Don’t want to shop for a gift card? Send us an electronic gift card from an online retailer or your favorite warehouse club. E-gift cards are super-easy to order online and are delivered within minutes via email. You can also go to our Amazon Wish List.

2. Re-gift an unused gift card that’s been taking up space in your wallet by converting that card into a tax-deductible donation. When included in events, like our annual Rock N' Roses silent auction, gift cards have the potential to raise double their face value!

3. Instead of asking for gifts for your upcoming birthday or anniversary, ask friends and family for gift cards to donate on their behalf.

4. Gift cards are everywhere! Pick one up today from a gas station, restaurant, grocery store, big box general merchandise store, home repair retailer, warehouse/membership club store, pet supply store, computer supply company, or coffee shop.

Why 65 gift cards?

In 1965, after hearing his mother make phone calls to fundraise for cystic fibrosis research, 4-year-old Ricky Weiss told his mother she was working for "65 roses." Today “65 roses” is a term often used by children with cystic fibrosis to pronounce the name of their disease. In recognition of “65 roses,” we are seeking 65 gift cards to honor and celebrate everyone who has helped pave the way for better treatments and care for cystic fibrosis. Read the 65 Roses story.
