The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will host its 16th annual Guys & Dolls Auction and Gala next month. The event taps influential young professionals to raise awareness and funds in the name of a child with CF. This year there are 19 men and women dubbed “guys & dolls” who will auction themselves off along their own curated prize package at the black tie event on February 20.
