Workplace Giving
Choosing CCFA as the recipient of your workplace giving campaign is one very important way you can help to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Employees in corporations, federal agencies, and state/municipal governments nationwide give to CCFA through Community Health Charities and United Way. CHC and United Way have more than 50 years of experience in workplace giving. Touch the lives of people you know and help someone you don't know. If you would like information on how to bring Community Health Charities to your workplace or to designate funds through United Way, please call us at 561-218-2929.
