The evening began with a welcoming cocktail hour before guests made their way to the dinner tables. Throughout the night, guests enjoyed performances from talented vocalists and a live band, followed by the evening’s award presentations.
Speakers emphasized the profound impact of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, not only for patients, but also for researchers, caregivers, and the broader community who support this mission. Their work truly changes lives, and that message was felt throughout the room. The foundation also recognized and thanked the generous sponsors who help make their efforts possible.
A fundraising pledge moment added even more excitement, with attendees matching donations and raising an impressive ~$150,000 during that segment alone.
Once the formal program wrapped up, we had the opportunity to connect with several physicians and engage in meaningful conversations. Overall, it was a beautifully organized event: impactful, energizing, and genuinely enjoyable to be part of.
