Fete 2019

On Saturday, November 2nd, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation's New England Chapter is hosting our largest event, the Fête of Food & Wine, at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.  Over 3.1 million Americans, including several in my family, manage inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis every day.

It was three years ago that our son, Tay, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.  This very private, deeply personal disease invaded our immediate family.  From the breakfast table to dinner, from school to vacation and sports, it all changed overnight.  Now, I'm "all in" for Tay, our family, our friends, and everyone else sharing this journey on a very difficult road.

My next stop?  This year I joined the Fête planning committee, with a personal goal to raise $15,000 for the Foundation.  Asking for donations is nothing compared to the daily toll of Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. So, I ask.

Last year in just one night, the Fête raised $1.175MM to fund research for cures and better treatments.  This year, I respectfully ask for your support as we look to break $1.2MM.  Join the Foundation for an unforgettable night at the MFA.  Enjoy cocktails in the museum galleries and a unique dinner experience in the Shapiro Family Courtyard.  There will be a live auction, dancing, and dessert as we are entertained by the world renowned DJ, Brek One.  Bring your dancing shoes!

Please consider either buying tickets to the event or making a donation to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation.  Donating is easy - simply click on the "Donate Now" button on this page.

Thank you.
