Oshawa Dodgers Partner with the
Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation
The Oshawa Dodgers are excited to announce that June 23rd will be
the 2nd annual Crohn’s and Colitis Day at Kinsmen Stadium when the
Oshawa Dodgers take on the Brantford Red Sox at 2pm. The Oshawa
Dodgers have committed that all proceeds from 2006 will be donated
to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation
of Canada (CCFC), a national
not-for-profit voluntary medical
research Foundation for
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD),
in honour of Dodger pitcher Matt
Tosoni who missed the entire 2005 season suffering from ulcerative
colitis. On June 23rd representatives from the Crohn’s and Colitis
Foundation will be on hand to throw out the first pitch and distribute
literature. Draws for Dodger merchandise and prizes will be available
every inning. Currently, there is no known cause or cure for IBD
which an estimated 170,000 Canadian men, woman and children are
currently afflicted with. People are most frequently diagnosed
between the ages of 15-25 or 45-55 and is particularly difficult for
children and young adults since it often affects a person’s self-
concept, body image and lifestyle at a time when “being like everyone
else” is so important. Most people experience periods of remission and
flare-ups of the disease, often requiring long-term medication,
hospitalization or surgery. Although IBD is found throughout the
world, Canada is believed to have one of the highest rates of
occurrence.
Please support the Dodgers and Crohn’s and Colitis and come out to
the game on this very special day. To find out more information on
this disease please visit: www.ccfc.ca.
