Fundraising
The Foundation is not a government-supported agency and relies on the support of members and donors to continue its work. CCFA raises critical dollars through its local and nationwide special events, spearheaded by its national Team Challenge and Take Steps programs.
Team Challenge is the Foundation's endurance training and fundraising program, which prepares participants to run or walk a half marathon, take part in a cycling event, or experience a sprint triathlon while raising money for a cure.
Take Steps, CCFA's largest fundraising event, mobilizes participants in over 150 local communities across the nation to come together and walk for Crohn’s and colitis research. http://online.ccfa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TS_homepage
