The annual Athlete’s vs Crohn’s & Colitis scholarship is given to a high school athletes “who have demonstrated qualities consistent with the belief that luck is largely a byproduct of persistence, hard work, and positive attitude in tough or unfamiliar situations.”
Every year, we recognize very deserving student athletes – who refuse to let IBD stop them from reaching excellence both on and off the field/court – with a scholarship award to assist with their college educations.
We were thrilled to honor these 2021 Cleveland Clinic Scholarship Award recipients at our annual awards dinner:
In addition to our 2021 honorees, we were also able to (finally!) celebrate the accomplishments of our 2020 honorees from the Cleveland Clinic – Bridget, Max, and Maddie. It was an amazing evening and we are so happy to welcome Alyson, Grant, Alaina, and Maggie to the AVC family!
Please join us in wishing these special student athletes all the best in their future endeavors in college and beyond!
