Garden City, N.Y. - The Adelphi University Dance Team will be holding a Bake Sale on Tuesday, September 9th, from 11:00am-3:00pm in the UC Lobby to raise money for a charity called Breathe for Britt. The Breathe for Britt Foundation was founded in 2008 by Brian Kane in memory of his Goddaughter, Brittany F. Braun. The mission of this foundation is to honor Brittany's life and her fun-loving spirit by providing joy, hope, and comfort to individuals facing the daily challenge of living life with Cystic Fibrosis, the inherited disease that shortened Brittany's life. BFBF assists hospitalized children and adults who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis by providing special gift packages that contain appropriate items for the patient's comfort and enjoyment.

Britt looked at life as a series of challenges. She lived her few years with purpose and determination; her charisma and positive energy were an inspiration to all who knew her. Perhaps most endearing was Brittany's loving spirit and generosity, always sharing what little she had with the other children she had taken under her wing at both Schneider Children's Hospital and Stony Brook University Hospital. Brittany passed away April 3rd 2008 at age 14, having touched all who knew her. She remains an inspiration to all she left behind and it is in her honor that the Breathe for Britt foundation continues her passion for giving.

All the money raised at the bake sale will go to BFBF and will help provide care packages for CF patients and their families at Schneider Children's Hospital. Please visit our bake sale to learn more about Cystic Fibrosis and what you can do to help.
