Your support will go towards funding groundbreaking research into the causes, treatments and potential cures for IBD through Crohn's and Colitis Canada's impact-driven research program. It will help Crohn's and Colitis Canada provide support for individuals affected by IBD through education, information, peer support, and digital health tools.

Giving back to our community is intrinsically embedded in our company, our cultural DNA, and our mission: “At SimplyProtein, we nourish people as if they are family, Support the community like they are old friends, And take care of the planet like it is our backyard.”

Our partnership with Crohn’s and Colitis Canada marks our Wellness Crew’s first major initiative to give back to our communities. In speaking with the charity, we gained a deep understanding of the high number of Canadians that suffer from Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and we know that it is not talked about nearly enough. Unlike many other charitable organizations, Crohn’s & Colitis Canada is not as well known and does not receive the wealth of support that some other charities receive. This is why we want to put our work and our brand behind trying to help them overcome some of their challenges and drive awareness to this disease that at times can be debilitating. With this campaign, we want to encourage people to start having open and honest conversations and help to eliminate the harmful stigma sometimes associated with IBD.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (IBD) affect the body's ability to digest food, absorb nutrition, and eliminate waste in a healthy manner. The exact cause of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (IBD) remains unknown, and as a result, there is no cure for these diseases.

“Partnerships like these can change the course of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis for 322,000 Canadians and their families who face these diseases every day. The commitment from SimplyProtein will make a difference in funding groundbreaking and world-class research into treatments, diagnosis, prevention, and ultimately a cure, and enable Crohn's and Colitis Canada to provide the community with vital education, information, and support.” - Crohn's & Colitis Canada

Through accelerating research, boosting awareness of IBD, and driving system change, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada aspires to cure Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and to improve the quality of life of everyone affected.
