Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis Celebrates Landmark Year for Awareness, Advocacy, Research

Also in 2008, the CPF initiated its first Internet marketing campaign which included the launch of a new state-of-the-art website, and a new web-based advocacy program. These tools will dramatically improve the organization's ability to communicate with patients, researchers and caregivers, to increase public awareness of PF and to raise new funds to advance the work being done by the CPF. The Internet advocacy program had an immediate and dramatic impact on the CPF's efforts to pass the PFREA in the House. Through the efforts of CPF members communicating with their members of Congress, 30 House co-sponsors have been secured to date.
