Thank You 

Thank you to all who participated in last year's A Touch of Football for Crohn's & Colitis event. Together we raised just over $170,000 to support our mission.

We would like to congratulate our 2024 Top Fundraising Team, Theron's Team, led by Rima Jasser. The team raised over $13,000 to help #TackleIBD! We would also like to thank our MVP Teams, Ford Land, MTDC, Team TDM, and Ghafari Associates, who each raised over $6,000. 

Congratulations to our Tournament Champions, Dearborn Truck Plant F150’s! We will see your team back in 2025 to defend your title!

Ever dream of playing on the field of an NFL Stadium?

Take us up on the opportunity to play in a double elimination touch football tournament at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions! Teams play on the field at this iconic venue, all while supporting our mission of curing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.

About the Foundation

The mission of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is to find cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life for children and adults affected by these chronic diseases through research, awareness, education and advocacy. 1 in 100 Americans currently are afflicted by these diseases for which there is currently no cure.

For over 50 years the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation has supported critical research, investing almost $500 million toward finding cures and better treatment options. We are proud to recognize that the Foundation has been involved in every major breakthrough in IBD research.
