Get Involved

Interested in volunteering at our Chapter-wide events, or within our event committees? There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities ranging from planning our events, to assisting the day-of, and helping connect us throughout the community. Please complete the attached form to learn more.

Be an advocate: being a voice for those who cannot advocate for themselves is an extremely rewarding experience. Raise awareness to end the stigma! Take Action here.

Become an event participant: sign up as a Walker or Team Captain for our Take Steps walks, or purchase a ticket to attend our annual Special Events to join other members of the IBD Community to actively raise funds for our mission and research in an exciting group environment.

Featured Community Engagement Event: Join us at Regions Field in Birmingham for an afternoon out with the IBD Community on Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 2:05 p.m. Click here for more information.

Volunteer at an event: whether you are an individual, a member of a family, a member of a small or large community group, volunteers are what make our efforts a success. This rewarding experience is flexible to your schedule and can create a huge impact! Volunteer opportunities available in April/May and October/November at Take Steps & Special Events respectively, and monthly engagement opportunities available as needed. 

Serve as a Committee Member: give back to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation by engaging as a part of the team who joins hands to make certain that our events are a success! Show your strengths and passion for our mission by assisting us in planning our annual Take Steps Walk (Birmingham: April, Nashville: May), Special Events (Birmingham: October, Nashville: November), or joining our Corporate Engagement or Volunteer Engagement & Recruitment Teams; including Healthcare Professionals. 

Become a Sponsor: partner with your employer to support the mission of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation by supporting our local event campaigns in a way that is unique to you. Partnering with the Foundation can build brand awareness and portray a positive image among your customer base, and bring your presence to the IBD Community. We are willing to customize a proposal just for you!
