Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis

Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis is an evening fundraising walk that begins with a festival and ends with a 1 - 2 mile stroll with family and friends. Take Steps is CCFA’s largest fundraising event having touched over 240,000 people and raised nearly $60M to help further the Foundation’s mission. Our Take Steps walks offer a wonderful day for family, friends and the community to celebrate all of the efforts that have been put forth in raising funds towards our mission. Our walk events are filled with live music, food, kids’ entertainment, educational materials, and, of course, wonderful exposure for our corporate partners. In 2014, more than 70,000 people joined us nationwide, helping us raise $11M. 82 cents of every dollar raised goes towards breakthrough research, public and professional education, and patient support services in communities across the nation. Money is raised through corporate sponsorships, as well as corporate and family walk teams. More than 1.4 million American adults and children are affected by these diseases, that's 1 in every 200 people! Many patients live day to day with intense pain, the threat of long-term hospital stays and multiple surgeries. While many suffer in silence, Take Steps brings together this community in a fun and energetic atmosphere, encouraging them to make noise and be heard. Register today!
