Past Events
The Living Breath Foundation has hosted a wide variety of events over the past 17 years. Through these events, we raised awareness about Cystic Fibrosis and funded our financial aid and scholarship programs. Take a look at some of the events we have held over the years.
SHOOTOUT AT PASADERA 2021
February 15, 2021
The Shootout at Pasadera is a brand new LBF event introduced in 2021. A 9-hole charity golf tournament which featured four professional golfers in a friendly competition to raise money for those living with Cystic Fibrosis. Due to COVID precautions, activities other than the golf match itself were very limited. We are excited to see where this event will take us in the future!

Mauli Ola BBQ 2011
BBQ Fundraiser was thrown by LBF benefiting the Mauli Ola Foundation
The Mauli Ola Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing hope and confidence to individuals living with Cystic Fibrosis as well as other genetic diseases. The Living Breath Foundation donated all proceeds from this event to the Mauli Ola Foundation as well as invited the volunteers for a well-deserved party to relax and enjoy themselves after spending the day teaching young CFers how to surf!

AIR CRAFT YOUTH FOOTBALL CAMP
Southern California Youth Football Camp run by The Living Breath Foundation
In 2010 The Living Breath Foundation teamed up with current Riverside Community College football head coach Tom Craft to put on the Air Craft Passing Camp. The camp provided over 100 youth football players with a three day long football experience. The players learned football skills as well as invaluable life lessons from a team of exceptional coaches. Due to logistics the camp was only held in 2010 but was considered a great success by the Living Breath Foundation. The wonderful experience we received from the players and coaches lead us to begin putting on The Living Breath Foundation Bowl (a Junior College Bowl Game) the following year.​
