Dear Friends, Last year, our world changed in previously unimaginable ways. But, despite the challenges we faced, we made incredible progress in 2020 and that is because of every one of you. You showed generosity in innumerable ways, and we are incredibly humbled and grateful for it.

Fueled by your support, our commitment to finding cures is unwavering. The Foundation has invested over $400 million in research since its inception and played a critical part in every major advancement in the field of IBD. Our investment in innovative technologies is helping to develop a wearable sensor that could, noninvasively, predict flares in patients by detecting a certain chemical in their sweat. Through IBD Ventures, we are supporting projects to develop first-of-its-kind microbiome-targeted therapies for IBD. We began a partnership with LifeArc, a venture philanthropy organization, to develop the first-ever blood test designed to predict disease course in children with Crohn’s. And we’re supporting studies looking at the role of different environmental triggers – such as psychological stress – and the role they play in IBD. As you know, we also provide extensive education and support resources for patients and caregivers. In 2020, the need for these services grew exponentially. We rapidly developed new resources and became the hub of information about COVID-19 and IBD, working with IBD experts across the country to develop up-to-date website content, host live video chats, share patient experiences, and importantly continually update all resources as new information emerged. Our COVID-19 resources reached over 1 million people in 2020, and we continue to update them as the virus continues to impact our country and vaccines are rolled out in our communities.

As our world continues to change every day, your support inspires us and keeps us moving ahead. We pride ourselves on being careful stewards of your donations. Over 80% of our funds go directly toward our research, education, awareness, and support programs. Every dollar you donate or help raise brings us closer to our vision of a future free from Crohn’s and Colitis.

Thank you for being a part of our mission. Have a wonderful 34th Annual Golf Tournament.

With tremendous gratitude,

Michael Osso President & CEO

During the three decades of the this golf tournament we have raised over $3 million for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation and your participation today enables us to continue to help the find better treatments and a cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and for that, we are grateful.

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is the leading research organization for basic and clinical IBD research while also offering a wide range of educational programs for patients and health care professionals and providing supportive services to help people cope with these chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.

All of our programs are supported by fundraising efforts like today’s event.

Eighty-two cents of every dollar raised goes toward research, education, and support and the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is constantly praised by Charity Navigator and the BBB for transparency and effective use of funds.

Funding has enabled many groundbreaking treatments, improved the quality of care for individuals with these conditions, and brought hope to countless lives. Thank you for being part of this event and becoming a member of our Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation family.

We hope you will enjoy the day.

About the RISK Stratification Study

Some children diagnosed with Crohn’s disease manifest mile disease course and do well with first-line medication.

Inexplicably, others may develop complicated disease which may require surgery. The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s RISK Stratification Study, a 10-year, $10+ million investment, and the largest newonset study ever completed on pediatric Crohn’s disease patients, enrolled 1,800 newly-diagnosed pediatric patients at 28 clinics. Focus was put on 913 children with Crohn’s disease who were complicationfree 90 days after diagnosis. Researchers collected biosamples (blood, stools, biopsies) in addition to clinical, demographic, immunological, and genetic data, with the goal of identifying—at the onset of disease— signatures to predict which patients would develop the two most common complications, stricturing and penetrating disease, that typically require surgery.

Study Outcomes

Significantly, the RISK Stratification Study found that early anti-TNF therapy reduces the rate of penetrating, but not stricturing, complications, and successfully identified unique biological markers that are predictive of complications later in life. These discoveries reveal a potential new approach to precision medicine—tailoring of a medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient to deliver the right drug, to the right patient, at the right time—for pediatric IBD patients.

Since the publication of the RISK study results in 2017, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation research team, in collaboration with Genedata, a leading bioformatics company, has used artificial intelligence methods for data analysis and has identified optimized biological signatures—with improved accuracy to predict complications—with which to start the next phase of development toward a prognostic test.

Next Steps

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s research team has initiated a partnership with LifeArc, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing novel diagnostic tests to address unmet needs of patients. LifeArc has extensive experience in diagnostics development and will develop and evaluate a prototype test in close collaboration with the Foundation.

The development of a prognostic test is the culmination of years of intense focus, bringing us closer than ever to helping clinicians and caregivers determine the right treatment course at the time of diagnosis.
