We’re excited to announce our winners of “Empowerment on the Move” — a travel grant that offered 2 extraordinary people the chance to attend the Equity in GI Conference hosted by Color of Gastrointestinal Illnesses in Atlanta.

This transformative event takes on raising awareness for IBD, obesity, celiac, colorectal cancer, and more. More to come on what promises to be an unforgettable experience for our winners! A big thanks to Kenneth Rainin Foundation for making these grants possible!
