Other Events

Thousands of dedicated and creative CCFC volunteers, members and supporters across the country organize and participate in a variety of innovative events to raise funds for medical research and raise awareness of inflammatory bowel disease.

Teams of dedicated volunteers organize a wide variety of sports tournaments – golf, hockey, skating – and other fundraisers such as fashion shows, art auctions, Cruise for Crohn’s, sunset brunches, raffles and bottle drives.

There is also a light spreading across the country that sparkles with the dedication and commitment of the volunteers who put together Galas in an effort to raise money for IBD research. Extremely talented and hardworking committees work through the year organizing the equally successful and glamorous All That Glitters Galas in Calgary, Halifax, Kamloops, Montréal, St John's, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg annually. In 2004, Canadian Pensions and Benefits Institute – Ontario Region (CPBI Ontario) began partnering with the CCFC to plan a charity event for the pensions, benefits and investment industries – the Benefit Ball.  The first annual Benefit Ball – An Evening of Casablanca – proved to be an overwhelming success and has been followed by even better events in each subsequent year.

If you would like to join other volunteers in fundraising for IBD research or have a great new idea and would like to plan and run your own fundraiser, please contact us.
