To Alumni,

As brothers, we share more than just a fraternity; we shared a bond of brotherhood meant to last a lifetime.

As some of you may know, I've been living with cystic fibrosis, a life-shortening genetic disease that has posed challenges in my life but has also strengthened my resolve to live fully and make a positive impact wherever I can. ATO chose to support my fight and has been a part of incredible advances for people with cystic fibrosis for over 10 years now. 

Today, I'm reaching out to ask you to continue supporting our current brother's efforts as they raise money through Tau Tug for a Cure. 

ATO's Tau Tug event has benefited the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for over 10 years; inspired by ATO brother, John Pickering, who lives with cystic fibrosis.

When John's fellow brothers learned about his disease, they quickly committed to raising money in his honor, and helping to find a cure for CF. John continues to be the driving force for UGA's ATOs.

With great hope and expectation, ATO is dedicated to finding a cure not only for John but for every person living with CF.
 

Since Tau Tug began contributing to the CF Foundation, incredible progress has been made for people with cystic fibrosis. When John was born, he wasn't expected to live to be 18 years old. But, because of incredible science being funded through the CF Foundation, John's life is more than he dreamed.
 

The progress of the CF Foundation is a testament to the efforts of events like Tau Tug and those who are working tirelessly for a cure.
