Eastern Long Island Take Steps Walk to Find Cures
The Eastern Long Island Take Steps Walk is a family friendly community walk dedicated to raising awareness and mission-critical funds to support the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. Since the Foundation's inception, volunteers have helped us raise $330 million towards breakthrough research, public and professional education, and patient support services in communities across the nation.
Volunteers are the backbone to the Foundation. We are looking for volunteers to help at our walk on October 21st. Some volunteer opportunities at the walk could be: helping set-up the event, assisting checking our Take Steps participants in at registration, lending a hand in the kids zone area, distributing t-shirts and incentives, replenishing the food area, cheering on our participants who are walking the 2.8 miles on the route, clean up and more.
Contact Melissa Pulsinelli at MPulsinelli@crohnscolitisfoundation.org or 516.222.5530 to volunteer or get more information.
(Need volunteer hours for school? We’re happy to sign any forms!)

Mission Statement
To cure and prevent Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis through research, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these digestive diseases through education and support.
CCFA sponsors basic and clinical research of the highest quality. The foundation also offers a wide range of educational programs for patients and health-care professionals, and provides supportive services to help people cope with these chronic intestinal 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. CCFA was founded in 1967 by Irwin M. and Suzanne Rosenthal, William D. and Shelby Modell, and Henry D. Janowitz, M.D.
Four decades ago, CCFA created the field of IBD 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 CCFA for "uniting the research community and strengthening IBD research."
