This event highlights awareness about the existence of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis and the need to find a cure. These diseases affect over 1.4 million Americans, including 140,000 children under the age of 18. Everyone knows someone with Crohn's or colitis, whether you are aware of it or not.

The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer driven organization that acts as the sole advocate for those battling these diseases. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for Crohn's and colitis sufferers and to one day find a cure for these painful and humilitaing diseases.

This organization, however, is not nearly as well funded as other organizations. With your contribution, we will be able to raise critical dollars to help the CCFA fund research, education, and support services. 80% of your donation is dedicated toward funding these services, most importantly the research needed to find the causes and cures for Crohn's and colitis.

We thank you in advance for your support of our cause and participation in our event!
