Learn about the Princess Ball in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada

Cystic Fibrosis Canada would like to announce that the Princess Ball is coming to Mississauga for the first time, on Saturday, January 27, 2018 at the
Le Report Banquet and Convention Centre.

After its fourth successful year in Windsor, and other cities across Canada, the Princess Ball will open its royal gates to a day of dress up and fun for children ages 3 to 12 at this lunch time event. It is a magical event that is dedicated to raising awareness and funds in support of Canadians living with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Among 150 little girls wearing tulle and tiaras at the Princesss Ball in support of
Cystic Fibrosis Canada, a very special little girl will be crowned the 2018 Cystic Fibrosis Peel Princess. The newly crowned CF Princess has cystic fibrosis. In an effort to reduce the risk of cross infection between people with CF, nobody else with CF is allowed to attend the event making hold the only title of the CF Princess.

*People with cystic fibrosis cannot be in the same room with one another due to a heightened risk of cross infection*

The Priness Ball has raised as far as $50,595 in support of critical CF research and care programs.

We invite members of the community to join us in in support of Canadians living with cystic fibrosis by participating in this fun event for the whole family,” says Jeff Beach, Regional Executive Director at Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease that affects Canadian children and young adults. There is no cure. Half of those who died of the disease in 2013 were not even 35 years of age. By supporting the Princess Ball you will be contributing to critical research and care programs to improve the lives of Canadians living with cystic fibrosis.
