Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis

Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis

The Ostrega Law Firm, PLLC supports the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (“CCFA”).  Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis. The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It was founded in 1967 by Irwin M. and Suzanne Rosenthal, William D. and Shelby Modell, and Henry D. Janowitz, M.D.

Four decades ago, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation created the field of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis research. Today, the Foundation funds cutting-edge studies at major medical institutions, nurtures investigators at the early stages of their careers, and finances underdeveloped areas of research. Educational workshops and symposia, together with our scientific journal, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, enable medical professionals to keep pace with this rapidly growing field. No wonder the National Institutes of Health has commended the Foundation for “uniting the research community and strengthening IBD research.”

Be part of a Nationwide movement to fund raise for a cure on November 12, 2011 at Meyer Ampitheatre on Flagler Drive.

Help make the First Annual walk in West Palm Beach a Success by signing up and helping spread the word.
