The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation announced that it will partner with CVS/pharmacy and Warner Home Video for the second year to raise critical funds for cystic fibrosis through the sale of classic family movies this holiday season.

From now through Dec. 28, 2010, CVS/pharmacy will sell four animated holiday favorites from Warner Home Video, including "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "The Year Without a Santa Claus," "Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales," and "The Polar Express."

The videos will be sold exclusively at CVS/pharmacy. Five dollars of every video purchased will be donated by CVS/pharmacy and Warner Home Video to benefit the Foundation.

"The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is grateful that CVS/pharmacy and Warner Home Video will again join us in the effort to raise dollars to fight cystic fibrosis," said C. Richard Mattingly, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. "With their support, we will continue our mission to improve the lives of those with this devastating disease, and ultimately find a cure."

Cystic fibrosis is a fatal genetic disease that causes life-threatening lung infections and premature death, and affects about 70,000 people worldwide. The Foundation has fueled dramatic improvements in research and care that have significantly changed the prognosis for people with CF. Where most children with CF once died before reaching elementary school, now people with CF live into their 30s and beyond.
