At the heart of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s mission is the commitment to improving the lives of those affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This commitment is exemplified by the Take Steps Walk, the Foundation’s largest and most impactful fundraising event. Presented by Seubert & Associates, Inc., this walk experience not only raises vital funds but also brings communities together, providing support and solidarity to IBD patients and their families.
A Community United
Take Steps is more than just a walk; it’s a community event where patients, caregivers, supporters, and healthcare professionals come together with a shared goal. Whether you are a patient battling IBD, a family member offering support, or a healthcare professional dedicated to finding a cure, everyone is welcome in this inclusive, family-friendly, and supportive atmosphere. The event serves as a powerful reminder to IBD patients that they are not alone in their journey.
The Take Steps Effect
Every teammate and every dollar raised during Take Steps contributes to the collective impact on groundbreaking research, better treatments, and the ultimate goal of finding cures for IBD. This is what we proudly refer to as the Take Steps Effect.
The funds raised through this event directly support the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s critical programs for patients and their families. To date, the Foundation has invested $500 million in research, significantly advancing our understanding and treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These investments have led to new therapies and improvements in patient care, making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by these conditions.
Walking Towards a Brighter Future
The Take Steps Walk is not just a fundraising event; it’s a beacon of hope. Each step taken is a step toward an IBD cure. As we walk together, we share one path—forward. This journey symbolizes our collective determination to overcome the challenges posed by IBD and to strive for a future free from these debilitating diseases.
Your Participation Matters
By participating in Take Steps, you are contributing to a cause that directly impacts patient outcomes. The dollars raised help fund research that leads to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for IBD. But the impact goes beyond financial contributions. Your participation helps raise awareness, fosters community support, and empowers those affected by IBD to keep pushing forward.
