SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Thank you for making 2012 a Success

As we begin 2012, CCFA WI would like to thank our generous donors,supporters,patients, families and care providers.

Through our Take Steps and Team Challenge programs, our annual campaign and your contributions throughout the year, CCFA WI was able to provide funds for research to find  a cure for Crohn's and UC, as well as offer support and educational opportunities.

We are determined to find a cure. Together we will. We get closer everyday thanks to you.

Thank you and All the Best in 2012

Take Steps is the largest fundraiser of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, we are proud to host 4 walks in the state of Wisconsin.  Participants are asked to raise funds and awareness for IBD throughout the year and celebrate the steps taken in research, education, fundraising, and supportive programs on walk day.





                       

                                                                    

Team Challenge is the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's endurance training program. This exciting fundraising program trains you to run or walk a half marathon while helping the Foundation raise funds to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

When you train with Team Challenge you will receive everything you need to cross the finish line! In return, you will raise funds to help the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation reach its mission: to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these digestive diseases.

For more information, Contact Becky rburris@ccfa.org or 414-475-5520

Spring 2012 Take Steps Walks are just around the corner!

If you are interested in volunteering on the planning committee for Green Bay, Madison, or Milwaukee please contact Laura 414.475.5520 or

We are looking for corporate sponsorship for each of our walk sites. Local sponsorship opportunities enable companies to gain vast exposure and support Take Steps.  Providing a cash or in-kind donation helps us keep our event costs down and results in more funds directed to research, education and services. If you or someone you know is able to offer corporate sponsorship contact Laura 414.475.5520 or
lbolger@ccfa.org for more information on the benefits of sponsorship.
