We are a junior board of directors ages 8-18 with the purpose of increasing awareness and raising funds for a cure for kids diagnosed with ulcerative colitis or Chron’s disease, which are both types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
We are kids diagnosed with IBD or friends supporting kids diagnosed with IBD. We each have a position on the board. Each month we create an agenda and hold meetings to discuss ideas for developing awareness about IBD. We developed a logo for the group and established a $3,000 fundraising goal. We also collected toys to give to kids hospitalized with IBD to distract them from their symptoms and treatment.
Our first fundraising event to raise awareness is a hike on March 26, 2023. Any donation amounts are welcome. A $50 minimum donation is required for a t-shirt with the IBD Jr Board's logo (we will contact you for your shirt size) and sponsorships start at $500. We will meet at 10am at the Phoenix Mountain Preserve 40th Street Trailhead.
We look forward to seeing you on the trail to help light the way to an easier IBD journey!
