Welcome to CCFA.

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA), the nation’s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to curing Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is so excited to introduce a brand new website especially for college students with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), Campus Connection. Campus Connection serves as platform to help connect college-aged IBD patients and provide resources to this age group that speak directly to their needs. It also helps young people fight for the cures for these diseases.

There are many other ways you can help: Attend an event, donate to the cause, or volunteer with your local chapter. How do you think you can make a difference? Start today!
