About the Organization

<b>The </b><b>Event</b>

To date, Lawn Summer Nights has raised <b>over </b><b>$3,400,000</b><b>,</b> generated <b>awareness</b> <b>of cystic fibrosis </b>among thousands of people who had little previous exposure to it, introduced <b>thousands of young people </b>to philanthropy and community engagement, and started a <b>new trend </b>that has taken everyone by surprise (us included!).

Founded in 2009, LSN is a nationally trademarked and federally registered not-for-profit organization in Canada. the event is driven by volunteer young professionals who form each city's organizing committee, and supported by a National Manager as well as the Board of Directors. The event currently operates in Victoria, Vancouver, Tsawwassen, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Windsor, Chatham, Simcoe, London, Brantford, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Charlottetown, and Halifax.

Each city’s event brings together two hundred people in their twenties and thirties throughout July. The participants arrive wearing fun team uniforms that honor creative team names, indulge in delicious menus of food and cocktails, all while reviving one of summertime’s classic leisure sports: lawn bowling.

<b>The Story</b>

Eva Markvoort is our inspiration to support Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Eva spent a lifetime battling cystic fibrosis, but made it her life’s work to build awareness and help to find a cure for the disease. Sadly, Eva lost her own fight with cystic fibrosis on

March 27, 2010.

She was 25 years old. We are proud to be a part of Eva’s legacy and our event will continue to accomplish what Eva championed the most – enjoying life and finding a cure for cystic fibrosis.

Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation

The Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (CPFF) is a registered Canadian charity established to provide hope and support for people affected by pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Our charitable registration # is 850554858RR0001. We work closely with patients and caregivers, medical experts, and governments. With the support of dedicated volunteers, staff and our sponsors and donors, we aim to achieve our mission and vision. We’re Breathless for Change A relatively common “rare” disease, pulmonary fibrosis affects about 30,000 people in Canada. This number is growing. There is no cure, although there are treatments to slow the progress of the disease. The prognosis for PF is still grim, with most individuals dying within three to five years following diagnosis. And diagnosis can be difficult, taking up to a year or more. Research is the best prospect for improved treatments and an eventual cure. CPFF offers a community of hope and support to anyone affected by pulmonary fibrosis, so that no one needs to face this disease alone.
