The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Middle Tennessee recently announced the 2014 class of Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30.

Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30 recognizes the city’s most active young professionals and philanthropists under the age of 30, while benefiting the CFF’s work to develop ways to control and cure cystic fibrosis.

Honorees were nominated by co-workers, friends and family for their charitable and professional endeavors.

“We received many nominations for this year’s Nashville’s Top 30 Under 30, which shows how many talented young professionals there are in Nashville,” said Lindsay Donavan, logistics specialist for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “It was hard for the selection panel to narrow it down. We’re proud of our class this year, and we’re looking forward to seeing them continue to do great work in the community.”

The honorees will be acknowledged at the Top 30 Under 30 event at Hutton Hotel on West End on April 11.

The event, which is open to the public, will highlight each honoree’s accomplishments, feature a silent auction and celebrate the CFF’s mission of curing cystic fibrosis.
“We’re happy to have a great group of business and philanthropic leaders come to the Top 30 Under 30 events each year to support our honorees, and to learn more about the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s mission,” said Top 30 Under 30 co-chairwoman Frankie Mohlysky.

“We know that we have a great class this year, and we’re glad to have each of them be a voice for our foundation in their communities.”
