Take Steps for Crohn’s and Colitis

Hey Memphis... Make Noise and Be Heard!

 It's never too soon to get started...we have already achieved so much but there is much left to do! The Crohn's and colitis community in Tennessee is committed to continue awareness and fundraising efforts because we need to find better therapies and ultimately a cure for our friends and neighbors who struggle daily with these terrible digestive diseases.

 

Take Steps Memphis has been moved to the fall! Now is the time to get registered and kick your fundraising into high gear! Don’t forget to get all of your team members registered.  Once you get your teammates on board, encourage them to fundraise with Facebook, set-up their own online fundraising page and upload a photo or a video message. It is very easy to hit your team goal when you get all of your teammates to raise money with you. If you aren't a part of a team, see if you can get your friends, family and co-workers to walk with you and be sure to spread awareness about Take Steps and IBD along the way!

 For more information, contact Janelle Benuska at jbenuska@ccfa.org or 615-356-0444.
