Don is active charitably through his work with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) among others. In 2002, Don took the reins of the Breath of Life Gala – at the time a fledgling event supporting cystic fibrosis research – and with the help of a committed and tenacious team of volunteers and CFF staffers, grew the gala into what became one of the most financially and experientially successful events in Washington, D.C. and the number one gala nationally for CFF. Don’s daughter, Rachel, was born with the genetic disease.
