2 Overview Take Steps for Crohn s & Colitis is the nation s largest event dedicated to finding cures for digestive diseases. Join us in the spring of 2008 as we walk to raise crucial research dollars for the millions of people fighting Crohn s disease and ulcerative colitis. Bring the whole family and help us be heard across the nation. Together we can achieve a better quality of life for patients and those who participate in their care. Better therapies and prevention are only a few steps away. Audience Anyone can participate in Take Steps for Crohn s & Colitis, including people of all ages and fitness levels. Participants are encouraged to form teams of co-workers, friends and family to build a united front and raise funds. Thousands of walkers, teams and sponsors will participate in more than 50 cities throughout the country. Impact The need is critical. More than 1.4 million Americans suffer from Crohn s disease, ulcerative colitis and other digestive diseases, affecting one in 200 Americans. Funds raised by Take Steps for Crohn s & Colitis support the research, patient education, advocacy and public awareness activities of the Crohn s & Colitis Foundation. Research: Since its inception, the Crohn s & Colitis Foundation has invested approximately $125 million in research. The organization has played a role in every major scientific breakthrough for Crohn s and colitis, from generating data that has contributed to the development of new therapies to the discovery of the first gene for Crohn s disease. Patient education: Each year, another 30,000 people learn that they have Crohn s disease and ulcerative colitis. Since 1967, our organization has provided innovative education programs and materials to patients nationwide. Chapters also offer a host of support services at the local level. Recently, we launched the Information Resource Center, a professionally staffed hotline that provides up-to-date information to patients and families. Advocacy: On Capital Hill, the Crohn s & Colitis Foundation is the voice of people with Crohn s disease or ulcerative colitis. We advocate public policy positions that accelerate progress toward the cure of these illnesses. Corporate Participation Corporate support is critical to the success of Take Steps for Crohn s & Colitis, but sponsoring or forming a team is also a great business decision for your company. 84% of Americans say they are likely to switch brands, when price and quality are equal, to help support a cause. 75% of Americans say a company s commitment to causes is important when they decide which products and services to recommend to others. Employees whose companies support social issues are 40% more likely to say that they are proud of their company s values and nearly 25% more likely to be loyal to their employers.
