How Your Support Makes a Difference
Approximately 3 million Americans are living with Crohn's disease & ulcerative colitis. That is 1 in every 100 Americans affected by these incurable diseases. The highest growing population of those being diagnosed are those under the age of 18.
The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization dedicated to finding cures for Crohn's disease & ulcerative colitis, and to improving the lives of patients and their families. Over 80 cents of every dollar raised goes to supporting our mission. With your help, a cure is possible in our lifetime.
One of the great challenges of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is that no two patients are alike. While there are commonalities in disease presentation, what works for one patient often fails another with little to no indication as to why.
By coming together, we have an opportunity to harness the power of our individual stories to highlight the complexities of these diseases and increase the impact on our mission. We are not raising funds for a single issue, program, or study. Instead, we are a collection of families committed to coming together for a common goal: fueling the work that will ultimately bring relief to all who suffer with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. We’re uniting to fund a cure!
