Past Events
Judd Apatow & Friends
CtoC was joined by Judd Apatow, Ryan Bingham, Jamie Lee, and Shane Torres at Largo for a night of laughs and great music.
Rock the Night is an annual fundraising event to support Crohn's and Colitis Research. Great rock music along with a silent auction, good food and lively cocktails, make for an inspirational and fun evening.
Chip in for Crohn's
Golf Tournament
Chip in for Crohn's golf tournament is a fun afternoon of friends, family, and supporters that come together to play golf and raise funds for IBD. The event has raised over $100,000 since its inception in 2014. The Nordquist family has made a commitment to making the event fun for all while raising money for important IBD research.
This has been a great addition to our events and fundraising because it offers a fun way for people to support IBD research while accomplishing a personal goal of running a full or half marathon. The LA Marathon Charity Challenge starts at Dodger Stadium and shares the marathon course to the finish in Century City. The half marathon is only open to charity runners and is limited to 1100 participants.
Growth Through Performance Piano Recital is an annual children’s piano recital with Shilla Hekmat Music Academy. The families of the students generously support CtoC by making a donation for their child to perform or sponsoring the event. There is classical, popular, jazz pieces, and more, and many of the students sing as well as play piano. Our annual piano recitals have raised over $150,000 for CtoC. Thank you everyone for your support!
Other Events
Mingle Jewelry Sale and Yoga Class
We had our last Mingle Sale in June of 2022 as Rachel Roberts, founder of Mingle Jewelry, closed her business to focus on her retail specialty plant shop in Austin, TX. Everyone enjoyed a relaxing yoga class as well. A portion of the proceeds benefitted CtoC. Thank you to Rachel for supporting us over the years!
Judd Apatow & Friends Birthday Spectacular Show
Thanks to all who came to Largo at the Coronet for a great show with Judd Apatow, Jakob Dylan, Lena Dunham, Paul Williams, Maria Bamford and Jack Antonoff. Proceeds benefitted Connecting to Cure Crohn’s and Colitis allowing us to make a year end donation to our research partners.
Connecting to Cure Crohn's and Colitis partnered with the Screenland 5k in Culver City in February 2017 and February 2024 to raise awareness for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Our amazing team of more than 50 runners raised over $7,000 for IBD research.
Soul Cycle Ride
during IBD Awareness Week
Art Sale and Boutique was a fundraiser to benefit programs that fund research for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, promote awareness about these diseases and provide support for those living with these lifelong, chronic illnesses.
