The Take a Breather Foundation, based in the Philadelphia region, is a unique organization that aims to make
life a little easier for children living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Our goal is to give these children, along with
their families, the opportunity to "take a breather" from CF and focus on creating magical memories that will
stay with them for a lifetime. Memories that will strengthen their hearts and minds as they battle the
psychological, emotional and economic turmoil that accompanies life with Cystic Fibrosis. Founded in 2012 as
a 501(c)(3) organization, the Foundation has been an outgrowth of the Narberth CF Run, which has been
fulfilling the dreams of children since 1996, when we granted our first wish and sent a child to Disney World.
Today we have granted over 160 wishes, and we look forward to connecting with more children with CF until
a cure is found.
Position Summary
Due to growth of our foundation, we are currently seeking a talented Development & Fundraising Associate
with strong fundraising experience, including special events, social media campaigns, sponsorship solicitation
and the ability to develop and nurture relationships with key donors, corporate sponsors and volunteers. This
is a unique opportunity to direct your energy and talents towards achieving a “life enhancing” mission, while
benefitting from the resources and support of a highly regarded regional non-profit organization.
