Miami Field Day Awareness Festival

C.A.R.E. for Crohn’s Foundation takes the initiative to shed light on the challenges faced by people who suffer from Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. These illnesses are chronic inflammatory conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract, leaving individuals debilitated with harsh abdominal and joint pain, extreme weight loss, malnutrition, GI complications and frequent or long-term hospitalizations. The life-disrupting symptoms onset by bowel diseases go unnoticed and misunderstood due to their internal attacks on the immune system and invisible nature. In honor of advocating for invisible diseases, C.A.R.E. for Crohn’s Foundation has partnered with the city of Miami Gardens to bring the

C.A.R.E. FOR CROHN’S: MIAMI FIELD DAY AWARENESS FESTIVAL (MFDAF) to the community on Saturday, April 25 from 3pm to 8pm..

We strive to deliver the necessary tools to help improve their quality of life and mental health, through support and education on the importance of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

A community field day event will promote physical activity, nutritious food options, and bring awareness not only to Crohn’s, but many other incurable diseases that affect millions of people.

MFDAF will serve as a platform for local businesses and health organizations to educate consumers on healthy eating and lifestyle options. With an entertaining festival full of food, fun, child friendly activities, vendor booths, and live entertainment! Don’t forget the competitive field games where the winning team will donate money raised to their charity of choice in honor of their cause. Participants will represent cancer, lupus, sickle cell, Crohn’s, and more; all actively fighting for the winning trophy!

We want awareness to be fun for the entire family, and to leave our footprints throughout the entire community because no illness should be fought in silence. Let’s come together and gives those individuals who suffer in silence hope, knowing that they are not alone in the battle and have the entire city behind them.
