Night of Steel is presented by UPMC and UPMC Health Plan, together with community partners, volunteers and donors.

UPMC and UPMC Health Plan are long-standing partners in the foundation’s mission to cure inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

“In these uncertain times, our work to cure IBD and improve the lives of the 3.1 million Americans living with these illnesses is more important than ever,” said Eric Hecker, executive director of the Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia chapter.

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization uniting to cure IBD and care for those affected by these diseases.

Over the past 50 years, the foundation has invested over $350 million to accelerate critical research.

The Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia chapter engages and empowers local patients and caregivers through support groups, partnerships with regional health care providers, and educational and advocacy programs.
