Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Whether you are in search of a quiet relaxing time at the spa or the excitement and adventure of world-class fishing and golf, the Ninth Annual Hook the Cure powered by IOTEC, scheduled to be held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from November 6-9, 2014, has something for everyone.

Hook the Cure, an official event of the Redbone Tournament Series, has raised $2.8 million USD since its inception. These funds enable the CF Foundation to respond to the needs of pediatric and adult patients with cystic fibrosis, investing in a robust drug development pipeline, care programs and enhanced advocacy and support for people with CF and their families.

An estimated 30,000 adults and children in the United States, and 70,000 people worldwide, have CF. More than 10 million Americans are symptomless carriers of a defective CF gene. The CF Foundation is an accredited charity of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance and is one of the most efficient and effective organizations of its kind.

The IGFA-qualifying tournament is expected to attract both altruists and anglers who will make their cast count for cystic fibrosis at the Ninth Annual Hook the Cure catch-and-release fishing tournament, while enjoying world-class accommodations, golf, and spa services.

Weekend festivities will include: a pre-tournament Mexican Fiesta at Villa Premiere Hotel and Spa; golf at the spectacular Vista Vallarta; a lively weigh-in party with food and beverage; relaxing spa packages; headliner entertainment; and an awards gala and auction. Join us for a fun-filled weekend in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, while helping to raise money and awareness of CF.
