Kudos for doing this. My son is 15 and has had Crohns since age 10. Thankfully he's responded to treatment thus far, but these can be crippling diseases and every penny that goes toward foundations or research is a penny well spent.
I run a charity hockey pool to help raise money for Crohn's and Colitis Canada. We're heading into our 5th season. Entry fee is $25. You pick one player from 35 different groups, divided among forwards, defense and goalies. At the end of the season the top 3 finishers split half the pot. The other half goes to CCC.
For more information, or to get a pool sheet send me a private message with your email. Pool is only open to Canadian residents sorry.

Thanks very much much. I was diagnosed when I was 24 in 2006 and had some tough days since, but am much better off than many people I know with the disease. My brother was also diagnosed a few years ago and has had a very tough couple years. I hope your son stays in remission for a long time.
A Sneak peak at part of the pool sheet for anyone interested ....
