To support IBD Awareness week, December 1 – December 7, 2023.

This award supported the Color of Gastrointestinal Illness (COGI)’s participation in Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week (CCAW) to elevate the impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) on BIPOC communities. CCAW aims to educate people about the symptoms, causes and ways to manage Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The week recognizes and supports IBD patients and appreciates the family members, caregivers, healthcare providers and researchers who help them battle their disease. This project is in collaboration with the Association of Black Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists.
