Sponsorship

Canadians have more reason to worry about Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis than anyone else in the world. Currently, one in 140 Canadians is living with Crohn's disease or colitis and every hour a new person is diagnosed.

Crohn's disease and colitis cost Canadians $1.28 billion a year, with the country having one of the highest prevalence rates in the world. Our sponsors are essential within our Gutsy Walk community and they are the key so that we can one day find cures.

In a typical year, nearly 20,000 Canadians take part in the Gutsy Walk and our participants are eager to partner with the companies that make Crohn's and Colitis Canada programs possible. Our comprehensive sponsorship benefits offer brands the opportunity to extend their direct reach into the community and focus on key markets to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

• Sponsor the 2022 Gutsy Walk;
• Form a Gutsy Walk corporate team to promote collaboration and community impact;
• Make a corporate donation;
• Encourage employee volunteerism;
• Suggest doubling the employee contribution with an equivalent donation.

• Improved corporate image and reputation;
• Added value to your brand by visibly demonstrating your support for this cause;
• Key market targeting to differentiate your business from the competition;
• Positive publicity and increased visibility;
• Recognition for supporting a cause particularly important to your employees – after all, the number of Canadian children with Crohn's disease has nearly doubled since 1995.
