FEDEX: Boomer Esiason Interview
The Boomer Esiason Foundation was created to fund research to find a cure for cystic fibrosis, a disease of the respiratory and digestive systems. The Foundation also provides education and awareness of cystic fibrosis to provide higher quality of life for people with cystic fibrosis. While at a 1993 Jets mini-camp, Esiason was notified that his two-year-old son, Gunnar, had to be taken to the hospital with breathing difficulties. Soon after, he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. A devastated Boomer Esiason soon after formed the Foundation, a charity. He later formed a partnership with John Sawyer, a co-founder of the Cincinnati Bengals franchise and the chairman of Sawyer Industries, to form a company that would sell what came to be called Boomer's Products To Fight Cystic Fibrosis. The top-selling item is Boomer's BBQ Sauce, an award-winning Texas-style sauce. Proceeds from sales go to cystic fibrosis research.
