Cars and ‘Q fundraiser update
In its twelfth year, the Cars & ‘Q for the Cause event hosted by Choate Construction has raised significant funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, funding to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Choate Construction held the event on October 16 from 3-6 pm at the Choate offices in Sandy Springs, a phenomenal car show complete with live music, delicious bbq, and craft beers.
Fundraiser Stats at a Glance:

Total Sponsors: 106
Total Attendees: About 550
One of the 2021 Ambassadors at the event was Charlotte Mavros, a sweet and active two-year-old resident of Peachtree Corners. Charlotte was diagnosed with CF at birth and has courageously battled life-threatening complications with the support of her mother Heather and father Kyle, her family, and the CF community.
“The CF Foundation began as a grassroots effort—started by parents who wanted more for their child’s future than what was predicted for someone with CF in the 1960’s. Today the CF Foundation is known for leading the charge of one of the best stories in medicine. It’s on those founding parent’s shoulders we stand as we continue to fight for a cure” Heather Mavros said.
