Rock the Night 2026

Join us for Rock the Night on November 7! 
Telescope Studio, 6:30 PM

We are thrilled to be hosting our signature event, Rock the Night, a benefit concert for Connecting to Cure Crohn's and Colitis. Now in our 13th year, Rock the Night brings together our community and supporters for an unforgettable evening of music and inspiration to drive progress for those living with IBD.

Rock the Night features returning performers Jordan Summers, Libby Grace, and Lowell Dylan! Libby Grace

Born in the great metropolis of Pasadena, Texas, Libby Grace has been writing music since childhood. Though music was a constant in her life, she never pursued it as anything further than necessary therapy. That changed when Joshua Homme heard her and invited her to collaborate with him on Desert Sessions Volume 11 & 12. Recently, she opened for Queens of the Stone Age during Catacombs Tour.

Jordan Summers

Jordan is an LA-based keyboardist, songwriter, and founding member of All Day Sucker. Known for his rich vintage sound, Jordan has performed with Wallflowers and with Jakob Dylan's Echo in the Canyon band alongside Cat Power, Beck, and Regina Spektor. He has performed on the Rock the Night stage many times, and we're thrilled to welcome him back! 

Lowell Dylan

Lowell is a classically trained pianist, multi-instrumentalist, and IBD advocate. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease at age two, he's spent more than two decades navigating the challenges of IBD while using his voice to support and inspire others through Connecting to Cure.

Special Tribute Honoring Morgan Check

MSN, CPNP, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Cedars-Sinai's F. Widjaja IBD Institute

This year, we're honoring Morgan Stewart Check, who was an IBD patient herself long before she became a provider. Morgan navigates two worlds most people never have to face at once: managing a chronic illness while showing up fully as a clinician, advocate, and mom. We're proud to recognize her.

Thank you for being part of this incredible fundraising campaign. Together, we continue to make a difference in the lives of those affected by Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Our Programs & Community

An IBD diagnosis affects the whole family. Our programs focus on patients,  caregivers, and families offering connection and care at every stage of the disease.

• Support Groups for patients and caregivers, offering a safe environment to connect with others who understand.
• Peer-to-peer mentor program, Connect2Connect, pairs patients with peer mentors, offering one-on-one support through new diagnoses, flares, surgery, and medication changes.
• Leadership Development Council for teens and young adults, developing leadership skills and turning their ideas into projects that support the wider IBD community.
• Virtual Speaker Series bringing members of the IBD community together with leading clinicians and researchers, covering topics from nutrition to the future of IBD care.
• Gut-Friendly Workout offering movement adapted to each participant's condition and ability.

"I was in need of emotional support from people who really understood. Thankfully, that is when I discovered CtoC. I have received support and friendship from other caretakers who know EXACTLY what I'm experiencing."  - Caregiver

Advancing Research & Partnerships

We've raised over $4,000,000 for IBD research, our community programs, and other IBD-focused initiatives since our founding. Your donations fuel research aimed at understanding the causes of IBD, improving treatment, and moving toward prevention, as well as supporting the partnerships and programs that help patients and families manage these diseases:
