It’s National Volunteer Week, and we’re proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible volunteers behind the @keymorada Fishing Invitational 💙
For more than 20 years, this dedicated group has done far more than create one of the most unique events our Foundation hosts, they’ve built a true family. Through their passion, commitment, and countless hours of hard work, they’ve helped drive our mission forward and raise over $10 million in the fight to find cures for IBD.
When we say we couldn’t do this without our volunteers, specifically them, we truly mean it.
A heartfelt thank you to Alicia, Mitch, Ellen, Glenn, Dora, and Steve for everything you’ve done, and continue to do, to help create an IBD-free world.
We’re so grateful for each of you.

🌟 Volunteer Week Spotlight: @keymorada Fishing Tournament Committee 🌟
To our extraordinary Keymorada family:
This Volunteer Week, we celebrate YOU-the heart and hands behind one of the Foundation’s most impactful events.
Founded in 2005 by brothers Mitchell Widom (Bilzin Sumberg) and Glenn Widom (Glenn L. Widom PA) after Mitch’s daughter Taylor’s Crohn’s diagnosis, the Keymorada Invitational has grown into a beacon of hope, raising over $10 million for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation.
Thank you, Mitch, Alicia, Ellen, Glenn, Dora & Steve for making Keymorada a lighthouse for IBD families 🎣💙
