2026 Take Steps Launches Jan. 15th! 


We're thrilled to announce that our Take Steps website will re-launch on January 15th for you to (re) register you and/or your team! 

Want to meet other Take Steppers or learn more about what Take Steps is? 



Join us for our Super Bowel Kickoff Party, held the day before the Big Game! We’re kicking off the Take Steps season with food, games, and plenty of time to connect with others in the IBD community. You’ll get the tools and inspiration you need for a strong start to your 2025 fundraising journey—while celebrating the spirit of the season together.

This is also a wonderful opportunity to bring along anyone you're hoping to get involved in Take Steps. They'll get a clear overview of what the season is all about, why their support matters, and have the chance to meet other incredible members of our community.

Details: 
Feb. 7th | 10am - Noon
