Hollister Takes Steps
On May 19th, Hollister's Nashville National Distribution Center associates and their families laced up their shoes and opened their hearts to participate in the Take Steps for Crohn's & Colitis Walk sponsored by the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation.
Not only did Hollister have an onsite booth filled with educational materials for attendees, but also fundraising efforts combined with a corporate donation totaled over $7,000! All funds went toward breakthrough research, public and professional education, and patient support services.
Take Steps is a family-friendly event where participants empower each other to continue the fight against Crohn's and colitis. Friends, families and co-workers form teams to fundraise, and on the day of the event inspire and motivate each other. The day is filled with live music, food, kids' activities and educational activities. Everyone leaves feeling good about making a difference, hopeful about the future, and connected to those they spent the day with.
"The Take Steps walk fits very well with our Hollister culture, since it allows us both to support our local community and give back to those living with an ostomy," said Mike Mercer, Manager of the NVDC. "We were proud to have our associates and their families participate in this eventthank you to everyone who helped make it a big success."
More than 100 local communities across the country hosted these inspiring walks. If you would like to host a walk or participate in an upcoming event, visit Crohn's & Colitis Foundation.
