The Joey Fund, which works in partnership with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,
is an independent fund established by individuals in November 1986 in memory of
Joey O’Donnell, a courageous fighter and victim of cystic fibrosis.

In times of extreme sickness or need, New England cystic fibrosis patients and
their families, through The Joey Fund and various cystic fibrosis clinics throughout Massachusetts,
have a unique opportunity to receive financial assistance for CF related problems. 

Together the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and The Joey Fund supply financial support for both patients and research.
Working as a team they have created a future for children with cystic fibrosis, and are working even harder to achieve the ultimate goal - a cure for CF and to make cystic fibrosis history.


Joe O’Donnell 1944-2024

We are completely heartbroken to announce the passing of our Dad, Joe O'Donnell. He was the most incredible, loving, funny, and magical human, and will be so deeply missed. This community meant absolutely everything to him, and he was so proud of everyone in it.

Thank you for your endless love and support.
