Take Steps at Work

One of the easiest ways to increase your Take Steps Fundraising is to get your company involved.  Joining Take Steps makes good business sense for your company! Companies that join us show their customers and their community that they care about the 1.4 million people suffering from digestive diseases. And rallying behind a common cause is a great team-building experience!

We encourage you to bring families, friends, and neighbors as part of your corporate team.  Take Steps creates a fun, festival-like event that brings co-workers and their families together outside the office.

Why form a corporate team?

Begin today by selecting a team captain and registering your corporate team. CCFA will provide all of the necessary materials and support. Once you are registered, expect a phone call from local staff that will answer all of your questions.  We’ll set up a team planning meeting to assist you with setting a goal and creating a fundraising plan.

Teamwork and team building: Employees learn to work together in social settings, which enhances their work relationships. They find out how to set goals, develop creative ways to achieve them, and carry out their ideas into action.

Corporate pride and employee retention: Employees will benefit from taking an active role in recruiting and fundraising for their team. Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis offers a fun and exciting way to engage employees in the community, increasing employee satisfaction and fostering healthy competition.

Community visibility: Getting involved in the community builds a stronger reputation with employees, clients, and vendors as well as new audiences who could potentially become employees and customers.
