SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS

We Would Like to Thank This Year's Indianapolis Take Steps Presenting Sponsors



Take Steps 2009 Volunteers and Teams Needed


Take Steps Indianapolis June 6, White River State Park
Take Steps South Bend May 2, Mishawaka River Walk

Registration begins at 5:30pm and the walk at 7:00pm. 

 
Take Steps is our way of making sure Indiana hears our voices and knows our stories. Planning is under way for walks in Indianapolis and South Bend and we need your help. Every step we take to raise both awareness and money for Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Research brings us that much closer to finding a cure.


• This year's event was a success because of each and every one of you and we are looking for volunteers in all capacities including: 
• to serve as team captains
• to walk as an individual
• to work registration
• a day of the event photographer
• for food acquisition
• to work at the arts and crafts tent for children
• with accounting background to help us reconcile collected day of the walk walker envelopes
• for corporate sponsorship contacts

If you are a small business owner or know of a business who might be interested in being a sponsor please contact Scott Baumruck, CCFA at sbaumruck@ccfa.org or 317-259-8071.
