Welcome to CURE for IBD's SPECIAL EVENTS fundraising page!

When CURE for IBD holds a special event, some of the proceeds are used to pay our annual administrative, fundraising, and other event expenses. It is this special event revenue (along with other corporate grant support and general donations) that allows us to allocate 100% of our fundraisers' efforts to our mission of funding research.

Sometimes a special event will provide enough revenue to cover all expenses necessary, and there's still some left over. Because we want to allocate this 'extra' money to research, we have created this page. By doing so, these funds can be added into the total on our homepage, showing how much has been raised exclusively toward our mission of finding cures.

CURE for IBD was founded on the belief that if more funds are allocated to research, new treatments and cures will be found sooner. For many people, this can't happen quickly enough.

We are beyond grateful for the support and kindness of so many individuals, businesses, and organizatons. It is their generosity that brings hope for the children, adults, and families that we serve.

Thank you!

 

The mission of CURE for IBD is to fund research towards new therapies and cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. CURE for IBD was founded by parents who have dedicated themselves to finding cures for their children and everyone else living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. CURE for IBD does not pay any participant event or travel expenses, and only funds research with the goal of finding cures sooner.
Over 1.6 million Americans (1 in 200) are affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, insidious and debilitating diseases in which the immune system attacks the digestive system. These are life-long chronic conditions that often result in extended hospital stays and the need for multiple surgeries over a person's lifetime. Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, along with many of the medications used to manage IBD, lead to an increased risk of cancer and other conditions. Complications can be life-threatening or fatal.
Children are the fastest-growing population being diagnosed, sometimes before the age of 1, and their symptoms are often more severe.
