Go Challenge: Evan's Story

In 2024, Evan McFarlane, a PGA golf pro, harnessed the power of community fundraising in Atlantic Canada when he approached PGA Atlantic to set up a golf tournament, with proceeds benefiting Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. The tournament raised $10,000 and was a transformative experience for Evan. He hopes to make it an annual tradition and raise even more funds for IBD research and programs!

There are many different types of fundraisers you can organize through Go Challenge! Ultimately, your Go Challenge fundraiser can involve any activity you’re aiming to take on—whether it’s running a marathon, hosting a pickleball tournament, or reading 100 books in a year. The options are limitless! For help getting started, be sure to check out our Fundraising Checklist. 

I signed up for a race that requires fundraising through their website. Do I still need to create a Go Challenge fundraiser?

add remove

If donations can be made directly to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada through the race or marathon website you registered for, creating a Go Challenge page is not necessary. Should you have any questions, feel free to reach out to gofurther@crohnsandcolitis.ca and a member of our team will get back to you.
