Tennessee Chapter
Welcome to the Tennessee Chapter! We serve the state of Tennessee.
Announcing our 2013 Take Steps Nashville Champion Partner -
Bridgestone Americas!

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America’s Tennessee Chapter is deeply grateful for the continued support of Bridgestone Americas and Gary Garfield, CEO, who is serving as National Chairman of CCFA’s Take Steps events. Bridgestone and CCFA are also partnering for a nationwide Round-Up Campaign during the months of July and August, where Bridgestone customers will be asked to “round up” the cost of their service as a donation to CCFA.

Are you ready to represent Tennessee in our very own hometown race??
We are excited to tell you that we will be participating for the second year in a row in the Nashville Women’s Half Marathon on September 28th presented by Women’s Running Series! Whether you want to run, walk, or skip to the finish line we’d love to have you join our growing team and represent the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America and Team Challenge as we create a sea of orange singlets on the course. We’ve had lots of interest this year from those that finished the Women’s half as an individual runner/walker and were motivated by the support and team environment from Team Challenge participants and fans. They loved it so much that they wanted to come back and race this year with Team Challenge!
We have a 14-week training program to help you prepare, experienced coaches that will customize the training to match your needs and current activity level, tons of Team Challenge SWAG, a night’s stay at the Hilton in downtown Nashville, and pre- and post- parties to celebrate the awesome work you will have done raising money and awareness for the CCFA and completing your 1st or 101st half marathon! To learn more, please visit ccteamchallenge.org or contact Cindie Barbera, 646.413.1940 or cbarbera@ccfa.org.
