Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s Valentini Blue Event

Over 200 guests enjoyed an evening of jazz supporting cystic fibrosis research at Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s Valentini Blue event. Guests were treated to a performance by Canadian jazz vocalist DK Ibomeka and a keynote address by Philip Lyall, director of the film 65 RedRoses, a documentary which will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Network in spring 2011. To date, the event has raised over $45,000 for CF research. www.ccfftoronto.ca
