ALBION – Crosby’s and Reid Petroleum successfully concluded their 2026 campaign partnership with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, raising a total of $20,432 to support awareness, research and treatment for CF.
The donation was presented to representatives of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF), as well as Tim, Annelle, and Beth Royer, the grandparents and mother of Zoey – a local CF Fighter supported by the CFF and Crosby’s. The presentation took place at Crosby’s Albion location, which was recognized as the store that had raised the most during this year’s CF Awareness Campaign.
“When the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was founded 71 years ago, children born with cystic fibrosis were generally not expected to live long enough to attend kindergarten or elementary school,” said Heather McKeever, executive director of the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation of WNY. “Because of Crosby’s support along with our Western New York community and donors like you, the median age is now 66 years old, and people with cystic fibrosis continue to live longer and healthier lives. Together, we will make CF stand for ‘Cure Found’!”
Crosby’s received a plaque from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The presentation was made last Friday at the Albion store at 204 South Main St. Every year Crosby’s dedicates a campaign month among other outside efforts to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis, along with the guidance and partnership of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This year once again, the Albion store raised the most money for CF over the course of our campaign.
Throughout the campaign, Crosby’s customers showed their support by:
- Rounding up at the register
- Purchasing $1 pinups
During the event, Crosby’s Vice President Lenny Smith spoke about the personal and community-wide importance of the partnership, sharing the words of his late friend, who both fought and advocated for CF: “That’s what hope looks like: science, compassionate care, family, and community all coming together. I truly believe that is what we’ve accomplished here.”
