Not that I'm aware of. There are blight RESISTANT varieties, but none that are blight FREE. They can all contract it, just some take longer to get it, that's all. No joy there, I'm afraid.

My "Celebrity" hybrid tomatoes held the line longer than the heirloom varieties. But they eventually bit the dust too.
