Impact
Over $1m+ raised!
Our connection with The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation started with our own member family, the Baker’s from Atlanta whose two sons were diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. During our very first Smokies spring event we felt a need to raise awareness and funds for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Over the years we have been incredibly successful in reaching that goal. For the future, we aim to continue that activity and now want to extend our charitable support and focus towards local and underprivileged communities in North GA and TN.
Upon finding out what Cystic Fibrosis was and how families like the Baker’s are affected, we were convinced that something had to be done and Smokies GT could play a role in raising awareness and funds for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. So at the 2nd Smokies spring event a group of children cycled around Atlanta Motorsports Park and raised $5,000 for the foundation! That motivation has continued and we have powered on and raised over $1.2m !
The majority of the proceeds from the Smokies GT Spring 2019 event went to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the world’s leader in a search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. It is because of events such as ours that the CFF has achieved tremendous strides over the past 60 years in accelerating innovative research and drug development, as well as advancing care and advocacy.
