Description
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America puts together a number of fundraising events across the country. Take Steps is their largest with over 100 walks in all 50 states. Participants register as individuals or as a team the set fundraising goals and earn incentives along the way. Our walks are celebrations of their efforts to that point, complete with a 2.5 to 3 mile walk, food, entertainment and games.
Over $.80 of every dollar we raise goes directly to the cause. We provide funds for research for new treatments and ultimately a cure, provide education for both patients and providers as well as support for those affected.
