Casey & Devoti is pleased to announce that Partner Matthew J. Devoti has assumed the role of board president of the Gateway Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
After serving as president-elect in 2016, Matt took over the top board position in January 2017. Matt is thrilled to continue cultivating the mission of Gateway CFF – which is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatments, and ensuring access to high quality, specialized care.
With family members afflicted with cystic fibrosis, Matt has been dedicated to supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and its local chapter, the Gateway Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for many years. In 2013, Matt was asked to join the foundation’s board of directors; and for the past three years he has co-hosted the annual Wine Opener fundraiser, which raises $75,000 annually.
