from The evenT Chair<br />

dear friends,<br />

we are excited to have you join us for the 27th annual breath <strong>of</strong> <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Gala</strong> &<br />

auction: Carnivale, festival <strong>of</strong> the stars. your presence this evening provides<br />

strength and encouragement to continue our quest to find a cure for cystic fibrosis<br />

(Cf).<br />

our honorees this year are brad & Jill Green. it is our privilege to recognize them<br />

for their dedication to the advancement <strong>of</strong> Cf research and fundraising in the<br />

northwest.<br />

The improved quality <strong>of</strong> life and increased life expectancy <strong>of</strong> Cf patients is<br />

directly related to the generosity <strong>of</strong> you, the attendees at this event. with current<br />

advancements, we are so close to stopping this terrible disease, and with the funds<br />

raised on november 13, we will accomplish great things.<br />

on behalf <strong>of</strong> all the families touched by Cf, we ask you to make a difference, as you<br />

have in the past. dig deeply and give from your hearts. become a shining star in our<br />

pursuit to put Cf out <strong>of</strong> business for good!<br />

sincerely,<br />

mark huston<br />

event Chair<br />

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts<br />

break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every<br />

direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces,<br />

faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far<br />

than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”<br />

– Patanjali


we would like to introduce you to some <strong>of</strong> the faces <strong>of</strong><br />

cystic fibrosis (Cf). They all wear the same smile and<br />

in their eyes you see reflections <strong>of</strong> hope and optimism<br />

for the day when a cure for their disease is found. with<br />

your help—one day soon—we will find a cure and then<br />

cystic fibrosis won’t have a face at all.<br />

whaT is CysTiC fibrosis?<br />

<strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that<br />

affects the lungs and digestive systems <strong>of</strong> approximately<br />

Jude Small<br />

30,000 children and adults in the united states. more<br />

than 10 million americans are symptomless carriers <strong>of</strong><br />

the defective cystic fibrosis gene. The disease occurs in one <strong>of</strong> every 3,900 live births,<br />

and about 1,000 new cases <strong>of</strong> Cf are diagnosed each year.<br />

when the <strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis foundation began, few children<br />

with Cf lived to attend elementary school. Today, thanks<br />

to the efforts <strong>of</strong> scientists, caregivers and the development<br />

<strong>of</strong> new treatments supported by the foundation, the<br />

median age <strong>of</strong> survival for a person with Cf is 37 years.<br />

a remarkable improvement—although it is not good<br />

enough as we continue to lose at least one precious life to<br />

cystic fibrosis every day.<br />

who is The CysTiC fibrosis<br />

Brady Schroeder<br />

foundaTion?<br />

since 1955, the mission <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis foundation is to assure the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> the means to cure and control Cf and to improve the quality <strong>of</strong><br />

life for those with the disease. The foundation tirelessly pursues this mission by<br />

supporting innovative research dedicated to discovering and developing new therapies<br />

and by funding and accrediting specialized care centers to treat people with the<br />

disease.<br />

The <strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis foundation is one <strong>of</strong> the most efficient organizations <strong>of</strong> its<br />

kind. it has received a four-star rating for sound fiscal management from Charity<br />

navigator, the largest independent charity evaluator in the united states, and is an<br />

accredited charity <strong>of</strong> the better business bureau’s wise Giving alliance.<br />

Emma Jefferson<br />

The faCes <strong>of</strong> CysTiC fibrosis<br />

never before in the history <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis<br />

foundation has the feeling <strong>of</strong> optimism for defeating<br />

this disease been so great. Progress has been made<br />

because the foundation has seized every opportunity<br />

to support the best minds in science and to recruit the<br />

finest team <strong>of</strong> caregivers to the Cf cause.<br />

when you support the <strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis foundation, you<br />

are investing in the lives <strong>of</strong> those with cystic fibrosis.<br />

working together, we can give children and adults with<br />

Cf the quality <strong>of</strong> life and the future that they deserve.


<strong>Breath</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Life</strong> award • Past honorees<br />

abouT The award<br />

The breath <strong>of</strong> <strong>Life</strong> award is presented annually to an organization or individual who<br />

has provided exceptional support in the fight against Cf. it has become a tradition<br />

for the Patrons <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis to present each breath <strong>of</strong> <strong>Life</strong> award recipient<br />

with a stunning hand-blown glass vessel. for us, this vessel<br />

symbolizes the contrast between the breath that is used to<br />

blow a glass piece and the lack <strong>of</strong> breath with which those<br />

stricken with Cf must live each day.<br />

alex deford pictured with her father, frank deford<br />

The star was selected as a symbol by the Patrons <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cystic</strong> fibrosis based on a<br />

poignant passage from Alex, the <strong>Life</strong> <strong>of</strong> a Child by frank deford. The book was written<br />

in tribute to his daughter, and the following passage was about the night she died at<br />

the age <strong>of</strong> eight.<br />

It was bitter cold and still, the way most winter’s nights with clear skies<br />

are, and now ... looking up one more time, I suddenly remembered one <strong>of</strong><br />

my father’s favorite quotations, from Shakespeare. He had recited it to me<br />

when I was a boy. It was Juliet, talking <strong>of</strong> her love:<br />

When he shall die,<br />

Take him and cut him out in little stars,<br />

And he will make the face <strong>of</strong> heav’n so fine<br />

That all the world will be in love with Night<br />

And pay no worship to the garish Sun.<br />

our sTarry Theme<br />

Much as I loved to hear my father say that, I could never really visualize<br />

the imagery until that night, when I could see Alex up there, cut out in all<br />

those stars.

a rare, difficult-to-assemble vertical <strong>of</strong> Quilceda creek’s flagship wine,<br />

its columbia valley cabernet Sauvignon, covers 16 vintages, from 1992<br />

through 2007, that have been deemed “a tour de force,” “magnificent” and<br />

“a towering effort.” it will become the crown jewel <strong>of</strong> one lucky bidder’s<br />

cellar. Quilceda creek is considered the best <strong>of</strong> Washington state’s cabernet<br />

producers, and in the minds <strong>of</strong> many, the best american producer <strong>of</strong> cabernet<br />

overall. The current releases are almost impossible to obtain, and the depth <strong>of</strong><br />

this 16-bottle vertical is rare and extraordinary. The newest issue <strong>of</strong> Robert<br />

Parker’s Wine Advocate, one <strong>of</strong> the most influential wine publications in<br />

the world, has awarded the 2007 Quilceda creek cabernet Sauvignon its<br />

fourth 100-point rating, an extraordinary international achievement not<br />

only because <strong>of</strong> the rarity <strong>of</strong> the score but also because <strong>of</strong> the frequency <strong>of</strong><br />

occurrence. This 16-bottle vertical contains all <strong>of</strong> the four perfect 100 scores<br />

from Parker, including the vintages 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007. The 2004,<br />

whose combined power and elegance brings to mind the 1986 Margaux, and<br />

2006 vintages each received 99 points from Parker, and the balance <strong>of</strong> the<br />

vertical are all rated in the same stratosphere going all the way back to 1992,<br />

which Wine Spectator rated as one <strong>of</strong> the top hundred wines produced that<br />

year. Many <strong>of</strong> these wines were released in quantities fewer than a thousand<br />

cases, and each <strong>of</strong> these bottles was purchased upon release and stored in<br />

impeccable conditions. The older ones are drinking perfectly now and the<br />

younger ones can either be enjoyed or cellared for quite some time to come.<br />

The 2007 alone should effortlessly achieve its 30th birthday.<br />

37 PAIR Of rETICELLO GOBLETS bY DANTE MARIONI<br />

Dante Marioni<br />

each <strong>of</strong>fering a luminosity and venetian delicacy, this pair <strong>of</strong> Reticello Goblets<br />

hails from glass artist Dante Marioni’s personal collection. “vetro a reticello”<br />

is a type <strong>of</strong> internal decoration in which glass bubbles are trapped within a<br />

net pattern, a challenging technique that results in a stunning “net” effect in<br />

design and visual texture. Goblets have been a particular focus for Marioni’s<br />

blown glass work, which is strongly influenced in its form and cane work<br />

by the venetian tradition, yet has a distinctive style all its own. Marioni<br />

studied glassblowing at Pilchuck School and Penland School <strong>of</strong> crafts and<br />

has exhibited in major glass galleries and group exhibitions at museums such<br />

the corning Museum <strong>of</strong> Glass, the chrysler Museum, the new Zealand<br />

national Museum <strong>of</strong> art, the Smithsonian institute and the Yokohama<br />
