Austin Take Steps Walk For Crohn's & Colitis Foundation

Join the Austin Take Steps Walk For Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Saturday, May 20 2017 The Austin Take Steps event benefitting the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation will be held at the Travis County Expo Center, 7311 Decker Ln. Austin, TX 78724. Take Steps is the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s national walk program that helps to transform the lives of those affected by Crohn’s and Colitis. Funds raised through these walks will support the Foundation’s critical research, education, and patient support programs. Many patients feel that they are alone in their struggle with Irritable Bowel Diseases (IBD), not knowing how to explain their struggle with IBD to others. Take Steps empowers patients and provides a safe and welcoming environment for patients and their families to CONNECT and INSPIRE one another. Walk Day is filled with music, food, kid's activities, local entertainment and most importantly, the company of hundreds of people who truly understand the impact of IBD. All walkers are encouraged to donate $25 and commit to raising $250 or more. Check-in and Festival starts at 10:00 AM. The Walk starts at 11:00 AM. All participants who fundraise $100 or more will receive a "walking for cures" pennant flag along with the 2017 walk t-shirt and a wristband for refreshments.
