Why is it Important to Fundraise?
When you raise funds for Ocean City Guts & Glory, you're helping the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation accelerate research, advance treatments, and provide programs and support to improve quality of life for those living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Love to raise funds and make an impact? There's no better time to raise critical dollars for the Foundation: We are making fundraising easier than ever to help you reach your goals!
GETTING STARTED
Once you've registered, you'll have access to a customizable fundraising page that you can send to friends, family members, and your larger network via email, text, or social media. Start by updating your page and letting others know why this cause is important to you, and invite them to support you with a donation. Every dollar you raise will benefit people affected by IBD.
FUNDRAISING TIPS & TOOLS
