On June 16, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s Greater New York Chapter will host its annual Take Steps walk to help find cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
We have registered individuals, students, families and businesses to come out to walk at Pier 16, South Street Seaport to help raise funds and awareness of these inflammatory bowel diseases and advance the Foundation’s research, education, support, and advocacy initiatives.
This opportunity will help us provide our attendees with a welcoming, well organized, and fun event to attend.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are collectively known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The Foundation sponsors basic and clinical research of the highest quality. We also offer a wide range of educational programs for patients and healthcare professionals, while providing supportive services to help people cope with these chronic intestinal diseases. These programs are supported solely through our donors, grants, fundraising efforts, and sponsors.
