This holiday season, if you’ve unwrapped a gift that isn’t quite your style, or a gift card you won’t use, consider putting it to good use!

Our Skip the Return Line campaign makes it easy to donate unwanted gifts and gift cards to support our mission. We are always looking for great items for our auctions and your gift cards and unwanted gifts are perfect! Instead of waiting in long return lines or letting things collect dust, you can turn them into meaningful impact for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Give your unused gifts a second life and help us move closer to a cure.

Questions or have something to donate? Reach out to Andy apasek@cff.org
