May 10th Annual Benefit Luncheon raises over $200,000 in support of CCFA's mission

We are excited to announce our May 10th Annual Benefit Luncheon was a great success. Dr. Scott Plevy, this year's featured medical presenter shared with guests the current state of IBD research and some of the challenges we face as we work towards a cure. Tia Belisle, our patient speaker shared her inspiring story about growing up in eastern Washington as a sick child with Crohn's disease. Despite her ups and downs Tia refused to let Crohn's disease get in the way of her true passion in life, hydroplane racing.

Thank you to our sponsors and everyone who supported the program and attended the event! We are looking forward to seeing you next year.
