Join the fun!
The Victoria Chapter of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) is holding our second annual Fun Day in the Park: an open-air, day-long event of music, food, dance, free entertainment, and many other fun activities for people of all ages.
Money to help raise awareness and research into a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis will be raised at the event through:
- silent auction & raffles
- hamburger and bake sales
- mystery-prize fish tank, the Noodle Box Game, & more!
- CCFC bingo: great prizes!
Some events & activities at Fun Day:
- ANJOPA: come hear their rich sonic feast ranging from songs of the spirit to comedy and social commentary.
- PAUL WAINWRIGHT BAND: smooth jazz and pop favourites never sounded so good!
- VUUR & WADEL: one guitar, one djembe drum, two voices, and a ton of laughs!
- SPORTBALL: non-competitive sports coaching for kids.
- MORE!
What is Crohn's disease and colitis?
Nearly 200,000 Canadian men, women and children have Inflammatory Bowel Disease which describes two similar, yet distinct, conditions called Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These diseases affect the digestive system and cause the intestinal tissue to become inflamed, form sores, and bleed easily. Symptoms can be extremely painful and disrupt lives. Research is being done to find a cure. In 2007, CCFC raised and donated $6.6 million toward this research.
When and where is Fun Day?
11am–4pm, Saturday, July 24, 2010, at Gyro Park at Cadboro Bay Beach (See map below). Free admission. No registration required.
All ages welcome!
