“Jayda has been able to attend Camp Oasis twice because of a scholarship from the Foundation. Besides ‘hope for a cure,’ this fundraising actually helps people living the day to day. That matters big time…. She has looked forward to the walk for so many years. It’s a big deal to her.”

“[I have] hope that our children may live a life where a cure may be found, that others won’t have to suffer alone and that they too can find solidarity, find support and kindness to lessen the sting of this burden, hope for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation and to support their mission so that we can continue to have hope for the future.”

Benjamin Hochman, Honorary Denver Walk Chair
"Charities are everywhere, but I chose to help the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation because of this word (and funny enough, I'm a writer using a made-up word): real-ness. Crohn's and colitis are diseases that have a real-ness, affecting valiant, proud friends or family members, who battle daily pain in order to persevere.Real people who you see every day and don't know are dealing with insurmountable pain. Real children who live an incomprehensible lifestyle. These diseases alter the lives of the sweetest, nicest people in our society - so let's do everything we can to help real people overcome these frighteningly real issues."

"Helping the foundation is my passion and I hope my involvement encourages others to be inspired to get more involved too as I want to do everything I can do to find a cure for my daughter, Trinady, and all others like her."
The mission of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are collectively known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
The Foundation sponsors basic and clinical research of the highest quality. We also offer a wide range of educational programs for patients and healthcare professionals, while providing supportive services to help people cope with these chronic intestinal diseases. These programs are supported solely through our donors, grants, fundraising efforts, and sponsors.
We are a non-profit, volunteer-fueled organization dedicated to finding cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.
Since our founding in 1967, the Foundation has played a role in every major breakthrough in IBD research. We have invested more than $500 million into finding the causes, treatments, and cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. And we won't stop until we realize our vision of a future free from Crohn's and colitis.
We operate at the highest ethical standards and we consistently meet guidelines established by charity watchdogs, including the Better Business Wise Giving Alliance.
