MORE INFORMATION


Are you looking for a way to modestly contribute to CCFA by making a huge difference?  If the answer is yes, then please consider participating in one of our Fundraising Your Way campaigns.

CCFA member Tom Keenan organized his own fundraiser by asking his friends, family and colleagues to support him when he ran in the NYC Marathon.

Tom raised over $5,000 to support CCFA Camp Oasis in his fundraising campaign, which has helped make camp available to all children with IBD regardless of family income.

If you are interested in meeting new people, participating in fun events AND fundraising for CCFA, then we have two opportunities that are perfect for you! 

The Greater New York Chapter's Young Professionals Group (YP), geared toward adults 21-35, works to plan and host social events in New York City that don't have high ticket prices and give young people an opportunity to fundraise to support a good cause.  Events have included an annual Halloween party, summer cruise on the Hudson, open bar mixers, and more!  

 No matter which committee you join, it means having a great time supporting an organization you care about!  Please call the Chapter for at 212-679-1570 or send an email to newyork@ccfa.org for additional information.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We are always looking for volunteers to help in the office with light administrative tasks as well as volunteers to help with one of our many special events. Please give us a call at 212-679-1570 if you might be interested!
