NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Pittsburgh, PA, United States, 2013/06/27 - Collin Stover, a close-up magician in Pittsburgh, was invited by Pittsburgh's 50 Finest honoree, Wesley Lyons, to perform at a Wine Tasting and Auction in support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at The Pittsburgh Winery - CFF.org.

As explained on the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's website,

"Cystic fibrosis is a devastating genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are symptomless carriers of the defective CF gene. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure, but your help is needed now -- more than ever -- to help keep up the momentum of this life-saving research.

When the Foundation began in 1955, most children with CF did not live to see their first day of elementary school. Today, the median predicted age of survival for a person with CF is in the mid-30s. This is remarkable progress, but not good enough. We continue to lose precious lives to CF every day.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis. Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation!"

Collin Stover will be featured at the beginning of the event, performing table-side miracles for guests as they ready up for the auction and enjoy fine wine.

"I am glad to help out. It was last minute, but it's a great cause and it's going to be an awesome event featuring celebrities and tons of great people. I'm excited to have this opportunity, and hope to see tons of people I know supporting this foundation," says Collin, who can be seen performing close-up magic in venues such as The Village Tavern in the West End and The Church Brew Works.
