The Mid-America Chapter is proud to host the 6th Annual Evening of Hope Gala on Saturday, November 11, 2023.
The Foundation will bring together 300 St. Louis area philanthropists, business leaders, gastroenterologists,
patients, caregivers, and Foundation supporters for its annual Evening of Hope Gala, a dinner and charity auction
that raises critical funds to support patient programs and research for IBD cures. This exciting event pays tribute to
our brave friends, relatives and colleagues battling Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, while raising money to
fulfill our mission.

The Foundation has invested nearly $500 million into finding the causes, treatments, and cures for Crohn’s disease
and ulcerative colitis. These programs and initiatives are supported entirely by the generosity of donors, grantors,
fundraisers and sponsors.

We greatly value our community partnerships and invite you to help advance our mission with an
in-kind donation to our Evening of Hope Gala Auction.

You honor us with your consideration. Thank you for your impact on the millions of patients, caregivers, and
professionals who battle these diseases each day.
