       Crohns and Colitis Foundation

       When the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) was
       founded in 1967, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which
       include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, were little
       known and not understood. Those who were diagnosed with these
       serious chronic illnesses generally had nowhere to go for
       education or support. Most were uncomfortable discussing their
       condition, even with friends and family. Resources for research
       funding were scarce.
       From the beginning, CCFA has sought to offer IBD patients hope
       for a better quality of life and future cures, as well as
       inspiring action to achieve those goals. With your help as
       donors and friends, CCFA has played a critical role in the
       revolutionary changes in research, treatment, and awareness of
       IBD over the past 45 years.
       There is still work to be done...
       Along with research funding, the need for patient and
       professional services and support continues to increase.
       Currently one in every 200 Americans is affected by IBD. The
       fastest growing patient population is under the age of 18, and
       the percentage of new patients over 60 is also on the rise. CCFA
       patient services strive to reach patients and families at every
       age and stage.
