Call for Nominations for Jacksonville's Finest

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of North Florida (CFF) is calling all outstanding men and women between the ages of 21 and 39 to participate in Jacksonville�??s Finest, the popular event previously known as Single Greatest Night. Now in its 16^th year, the Foundation annually selects a group of exceptional young business professionals to act as honorees. To be chosen, nominees must exemplify leadership qualities, be active in the First Coast community and excel in business.

�??Honorees represent some of the most prominent and influential young business professionals in Jacksonville and bring great enthusiasm to the Foundation,�?� said CFF Director of Development Lynn Betros. �??We are looking forward to celebrating their hard work and dedication to raising money to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis.�?�

Each honoree commits to raise a minimum of $1,500 for cystic fibrosis (CF) medical research through individual and group fundraising efforts. The 2013 event will be held on Saturday, June 22 at the Omni Jacksonville Hotel.  Attendees gather for this magical night in their finest suits and dresses (event is black tie optional) to have a great time recognizing the honorees at an evening filled with fellowship, dinner, dancing, silent auction and awards. More than $1 million has been raised for the Foundation through this event since 1997.

Nominations are due by Feb. 15 and are open to all who want to have fun and raise money for CF research. In the past, nominees needed to be �??single�?� but in the interests of not limiting the �??finest�?� options, this requirement no longer applies. To apply to become an honoree, nominate a colleague/friend or for sponsorship opportunities, call Lynn Betros at (904) 733-3560 or visit the website at http://nfl.cff.org/finest.
