    Hi [Name], 

    Have you picked a charity to support through our workplace giving program yet? If not, I’d love for you to consider Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.

    Over 322,000 Canadians live with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These are lifelong, painful diseases that affect the digestive system and can lead to symptoms like severe stomach pain, fatigue, weight loss, as well as prolonged hospital stays or even surgery. Currently, there are no cures to these diseases.

    Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is the only Canadian charity that’s focused on improving the lives of people affected by these diseases. They fund groundbreaking research and offer support programs that make a real difference in people’s lives. They also work hard to raise awareness, so that more people understand what it’s like to live with these chronic conditions. 

    This cause is close to my heart, and every dollar raised can help support their work.  

    Want to join me in making a difference? Just visit [Link]our workplace giving platform to get startedto make your donation. Let’s show our support and help moves toward a future free of Crohn’s and colitis. 

    Thanks so much,
    [Your Name]

    Dear [Name], 

    As we head into the giving season here at [Company Name], I’d love to suggest a meaningful cause for our team to support: Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. 

    More than 322,000 Canadians live with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These are lifelong, painful diseases that cause serious symptoms and have no known cure. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is the only Canadian charity focused on finding cures and improving lives for people affected by these chronic illnesses. 

    This organization has led major advancements in IBD research, helped shape patient care, and provided trusted support and education for families, youth, and caregivers. Like [Company Name], they are known for excellence and impact. Supporting them would show our team that we care about making a real difference in our communities. 

    There are lots of ways we could get employees involved—whether through a friendly fundraising competition between departments, setting up a payroll deduction program, or launching an employee matching gift program. If our leadership supports it, I know our teams will be inspired to take part. 

    You can find out how to get started on Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s website. That page has tips for companies and info on how to connect with someone at Crohn’s and Colitis Canada who can help us plan.

    Thanks so much for considering this opportunity to support a cause that really matters. 

    Best regards,
    [Your Name]
