  • Hey folks, Ari Sussman here.

    I wanted to thank you for participating in the “Sussman at Sea” campaign. As you may have seen, we have reached our goal of raising $10,000 in pledges and securing the matching $10,000
    grant!!!

    Whether you contributed $3 or $500, thank you for joining this amazingly successful fundraiser. It’s been an heartening experience to participate in such a spirited fundraiser for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. It’s always impressive when so many people can come together for a common cause and really make a difference.

    Your pledge will be charged to your account within the next week and a check will be sent from our campaign to the CCFA within the next 10
    days. Please contact me if you have any questions…

    Also, our campaign has received a flurry of very kind and thoughtful emails and letters from folks around the country and the world.
    Here’s a great one:

    Dear Friends,

    First of all, Andy & I would like to thank everyone that has been
    involved the “Sussman at Sea” Crohn’s and colitis drive.

    Whether you were donating in memory of our son, Yossi, or to honor
    Ari or the other organizers, or simply to help find a cure for Crohn’s
    disease, please let us extend our personal heartfelt appreciation and
    thank-you. It is a mighty achievement to raise $20,000 for such a good
    cause. We should all feel proud.

    With much affection.

    Andy & Steve Schiff

    Again, thank you everyone for making this campaign such a success. We should do it again sometime…

    Best,
    Ari
