Alongside his work at the firm, Mountain Brook's James Dixon dedicates his time and resources to several nonprofit groups, including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF).
Dedicated to improving the lives of those with cystic fibrosis, CFF offers care centers, assistance services, and a range of research initiatives aimed at advancing treatments and ultimately finding a cure for the disease.
