EAST STROUDSBURG - Individuals can help support the contribution of the East Stroudsburg University baseball program to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in support of the Warriors' CF Awareness Day on Saturday, April 15.

ESU's baseball program has raised money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation over the last eight years.

In addition, the Warriors welcomed Brayden Walsh from Tannersville to their program in 2014 through Team IMPACT.

The Warriors' players will wear a purple wristband, the designated color in support of cystic fibrosis, during Saturday's games.

Support for Brayden's Mission, which will donate its funds for cystic fibrosis research, can be offered through this link.

Cystic fibrosis is an incurable, life-threatening genetic disorder that affects more than 30,000 Americans and is prevalent in children. The disease causes mucus to build up and clog an individual's organs, particularly the lungs and pancreas. Build-up makes breathing very difficult and causes bacteria to get stuck in the airways, causing inflammation and infections that lead to lung damage.

Team IMPACT partners children facing adverse medical conditions with team-based organizations. The organization has partnered more than 900 children with more than 400 schools in 45 states.
