Calling all young professionals! (ages 21-40)

Metro Detroit's Finest is an opportunity for local young professionals to get involved in making a difference in the CF community by fundraising and spreading awareness of cystic fibrosis throughout the year. This past fall, five honorees and their guests attended an inspiring and mission-driven evening to celebrate their fundraising success for Finest. Together, this incredible group raised over $68,000 to further our mission of a one-time cure for cystic fibrosis.

*NEW in 2024* Get ready as we go Fowling for Finest this year on Friday, October 18, 2024! Taking place at the Fowling Warehouse in Hamtramck, we invite anyone 21+ to come out for an evening of fun, food, and of course, fowling! Metro Detroit's Finest makes an incredible difference in the fight against CF. We hope you'll join us in our relentless pursuit of a cure. If you or someone you know is a young professional who wants to change their lives and the lives of others, Metro Detroit's Finest is the right place!
