You can help the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) fulfill our mission and meet our goals by participating in one of our nationwide fundraising walks. "Take Steps, Be Heard for Crohn's & Colitis" is also CCFA’s largest fundraising event which raises awareness for the more than 1.4 million American adults and children affected by digestive diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis--that’s one out of every 200 people! The funds you raise through Take Steps will help support patient programs, enhances professional education efforts, and propels critical research for cures. In the past four years, we succeeded in bringing together over 100,000 people and raised close to $32 million to help further our mission. Sign up to walk and donate today at www.cctakesteps.org/naperville2016 For further questions about volunteer opportunities please contact Colleen Murillo at cmurillo@ccfa.org

Mission Statement
To cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.
Description
The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It was founded in 1967 by Irwin M. and Suzanne Rosenthal, William D. and Shelby Modell, and Henry D. Janowitz, M.D.
Four decades ago, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation created the field of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis research. Today, the Foundation funds cutting-edge studies at major medical institutions, nurtures investigators at the early stages of their careers, and finances underdeveloped areas of research. Educational workshops and symposia, together with our scientific journal, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, enable medical professionals to keep pace with this rapidly growing field. No wonder the National Institutes of Health has commended the Foundation for "uniting the research community and strengthening IBD research."
