Three million Americans live with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. These chronic digestive diseases, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), impact every facet of patients’ lives and are often exacerbated during times of stress.  With 1 out of every 100 people affected, chances are that someone in your company, customer base, neighborhood, inner circle, or even your family has IBD.

While the pandemic is forcing all of us to stop or change the way we do things, IBD doesn't take a break. Like many organizations, we are adjusting the way we normally do business, including shifting our in-person events to unique virtual experiences.

This year we are hosting the 2nd Annual Raise Your Spirits for Crohn's & Colitis.  Participants will experience an interactive program, captivating entertainment, and an incredible online auction while remaining safely distanced. Our goal is for guests to have a meaningful, inspirational experience, to recognize and connect with the IBD community, and to raise critical funds to support the mission of the Foundation whose resources have been more crucial than ever for patients managing their health throughout this pandemic.  

Our online auction is one of the many ways we raise funds for education, support, and critical research to find better treatments and eventually, cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We support almost 300,000 patients in the seven counties we serve by providing support groups, education programs, Camp Oasis for kids with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and funding cutting-edge medical research. Our audience consists of influential business professionals, community leaders, and philanthropic donors. Our attendees are active consumers in the luxury goods and services space and value companies who support causes close to their hearts.

As a token of our gratitude for your generous donation, your name will be showcased on the online auction display, receive recognition in a Facebook post, and be listed in the closing credits of our program.

We are grateful for your consideration.

On behalf of the patients we serve and the researchers we support, we thank you and look forward to partnering with you to create a future free of IBD.
