The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is a volunteer-fueled organization dedicated to finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. Since the inaugural Legacy in 2001, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation has been grateful for your annual support. Since our founding in 1967 we have invested more than $500 million into finding the causes, treatments, and cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
While we continue to forge the path toward cures, prevention of Crohn’s disease and prevention of ulcerative colitis is an evolving area of scientific research with promise. This is timely, as the number of new IBD cases increases globally, and as our understanding of early disease events deepens. We aim to discover cures through:
• Conducting the first US-based IBD Disease Prevention Survey to gather quantitative feedback from IBD patients and first-degree relatives to better understand their interest in potential interventions or preventive measures
• Bringing together funding and regulatory experts, encouraging them to think about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis through a similar lens to the one they use for communicable diseases
• Accelerating precision-medicine strategies at an unprecedented pace through IBD Plexus, our revolutionary research platform. And so much more.
