Take Steps is the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s fundraising walk campaign where patients and their families and friends are able to connect with their local IBD community, helping them understand that they are never alone in the fight. However, it is so much more than just a walk, it is where we come together to empower and inspire each other to fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Volunteer are needed on walk day to help us with registration, food, kids activities, cheering stations, water stations, greeters, and so much more.

About Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Long Island Chapter
Location:
585 Stewart Avenue, Suite 304, Garden City, NY 11530, US
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."
