The Afterparty

Our 11th Rock the Night Event Was a Huge Success and Now, 

The Afterparty!

We  had a fantastic lineup of music and comedy, delicious food and drinks, and an incredible silent auction. Most importantly, we thank you all for your generous support. We would not have been able to do this without our sponsors, donors, and volunteers. Together, we raised over $200,000 in support of the IBD Community. Now, your donation to the Afterparty will help us further our mission to support all those affected by IBD through our community programs that offer a safe space for all those affected by IBD, our support of underserved communities, cutting edge IBD research and more! To learn all about what we do, go tour website here. 

 

Special Tribute Honoring Shervin Rabizadeh, MD, MBA

Chair, Department of Pediatrics;  Associate Director, Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children's;  Director, Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology;  Director, Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program;  Associate Professor, Pediatrics


One of the highlights of the evening was honoring Dr. Shervin Rabizadeh, whose dedication is inspiring. Below is the tribute video we showed at the event. Dr. Rabizadeh's belief that IBD is only part of who his patients are and his commitment to knowing each one personally shone through in every word of the video. We also presented him with a book of tributes from his patients and their families. He was genuinely touched, as were we here at Connecting to Cure.


More than his outstanding professional achievements, Dr. Rabizadeh is beloved for the exceptional care he provides to his young patients. His warmth, accessibility, and genuine concern for families coping with the challenges of IBD have reassured countless parents, making a profound impact on their lives.

 


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.

 Rock the Night 2024!!!
