Claire's Place Foundation, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization designed to help children and families affected by Cystic Fibrosis.
Claire's Place Foundation is named in honor of Claire Wineland, now a teenager, who has been living with cystic fibrosis her entire life.
Claire and her parents want other families to experience the benefit from the kind of support that they received and continue to get; hence, this is the motivation for the foundation. Claire's experiences have catapulted her into a position of being a spokesperson and an inspirational model for people living with this disease. She has documented and created videos on how to enjoy life with Cystic Fibrosis and live life to the fullest. Claire's Place Foundation is a way for Claire to give back and make meaning of what she has had to go through; the foundation is her way to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
