Renovating for Research - No Go Gala - Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of Canada

Medical research is simply the best hope for finding a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) is the only national organization dedicated solely to finding a cure for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We have been committed to this mission since 1974 and we are one of the world’s leaders in non-governmental, per capita funding of IBD research.
