“In 2018, when my beloved daughter Claire Wineland passed away from cystic fibrosis, the torch she passed to me felt incredibly heavy,” Claire’s Place Foundation Executive Director Melissa Yeager. “At first, I wasn’t sure I could continue this work at Claire’s Place without her, but as time went on, I realized I couldn’t let her light go out. A heartfelt thank you to the Los Angeles Business Journal for honoring me with this award. It’s a recognition of the work we do, the dedicated support of my incredible team, and, most importantly, the strength and resilience of the cystic fibrosis community we are honored to serve.”
