Crohn's and Colitis Foundation raises $400,000

The Georgia Chapter of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation recently raised more than $400,000 during the 21st Annual Torch Gala.

The event is the largest fundraiser of the year for the chapter. Funds go towards towards education, research and prevention of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Atlanta residents Ann and Jay Davis and their son, Richard, were chosen as the 2012 Torch Gala Citizens of the Year. The Davises are fundraisers, volunteers and advocates for CCFA.
