Boise Walk for IBD Cures

About Boise Walk for IBD Cures

Coping with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease or IBD) can be extremely challenging and isolating.  Saint Al's is bringing our Boise IBD community together for the Boise Walk for IBD Cures, where we'll come together as a dedicated community of supporters to walk and raise funds for those living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Your donation to our efforts will help the Foundation invest in IBD cures for the future, while providing support to patients today. Please help us reach our goal so that, together, we can support the crucial work of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. Will you support us with a donation or join us in fundraising for Boise Walk for IBD Cures?

Together, we have raised $22,255 for IBD cures so far!*

*as of 1 pm on 9/27


On September 28th, we’ll come together at Veterans Memorial Park to honor the journeys of those living with IBD. Every step we take, and every dollar we raise will create awareness, fund critical research, and show everyone touched by this isolating disease that they are not alone. Join us to walk for a future free of IBD!
