Jen Kaiser, Rocky Mountain Board of Directors
"I live for the days when I feel well enough to hike, run, ski, and travel the world with my husband and kids - without just pushing through. With the support of a wonderful care team, family, and friends, I hope to keep chasing adventures while using my journey to advocate and make life better for others with IBD."

"The Foundation’s work directly contributes to funding research for new, less invasive treatments, better access to care, and sharing information about how to live your best life while living with Crohn’s or Colitis. I believe some day within my lifetime, there will finally be a cure for these diseases and that is why I’m proud to serve on this Board with fellow members who all share this same belief."

Shelby Street, 2025 Take Steps Utah Honored Hero
"Living with Crohn’s isn’t easy. Some days it feels like it takes everything from you. But, standing here today, I want you to know things do get better. Maybe not all at once, but step by step. And you are not alone. I see you. I believe in you, and together we keep going and keep fighting."

"I would love to continue seeing Take Steps grow. I am so thankful for this foundation. It has normalized this disease, and made me feel more comfortable with my diagnosis. I enjoy and take pride in stepping up to raise awareness. It has allowed me to meet some amazing people and continue learning about my disease and the research being done, and the options available to me."
The mission of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation is to cure Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are collectively known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
The Foundation sponsors basic and clinical research of the highest quality. We also offer a wide range of educational programs for patients and healthcare professionals, while providing supportive services to help people cope with these chronic intestinal diseases. These programs are supported solely through our donors, grants, fundraising efforts, and sponsors.
We are a non-profit, volunteer-fueled organization dedicated to finding cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.
Since our founding in 1967, the Foundation has played a role in every major breakthrough in IBD research. We have invested more than $500 million into finding the causes, treatments, and cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. And we won't stop until we realize our vision of a future free from Crohn's and colitis.
We operate at the highest ethical standards and we consistently meet guidelines established by charity watchdogs, including the Better Business Wise Giving Alliance.
