When someone does something locally no matter how big or small,
it helps support the mission of Athletes vs Crohn’s & Colitis.
We are proud to recognize some amazing crohnies that have hosted their own fundraisers to help other athletes battling IBD – every penny counts in the battle against Crohn’s!
Here are some special people making a difference:
We are always so touched and thankful when our supporters host independent fundraisers for AVC. Special thanks to Ruby for including us as the non-profit beneficiary for her mitzvah project! With the generous support of friends and loved ones, Ruby and her family raised over $6,000 for young athletes battling IBD by hosting a fun event at a trampoline park! Thanks so much to Ruby and the Shultz family for their continued support
One of our favorite Crohnies Edward and his family hosted an amazing day in partnership with Orangetheory, @williamsburg.otf! Guests worked up a sweat for a great cause, participated in an awesome raffle, and ended the day with a delicious lunch at @moessouthwestgrill, where a portion of all proceeds benefit AVC! Special thanks to Edward and his family for being such wonderful ambassadors for our organization and raising over $7,000 for young athletes battling IBD!
Our Chicago buddy Evan and his friends hosted a lemonade stand and were able to raise over $50 for AVC, as well as quench the thirst in their neighborhood ?❤️
