Breanne Sich is the founder of the Crohn’s & Colitis Collective, an organization created to help individuals living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Breanne has lived with Crohn’s for 18 years and was motivated to start this collective after her sister’s near-death experience related to the disease. She wants to reduce the stigma and shame associated with IBD and create a community where individuals can openly talk about their experiences. Breanne has designed and created a line of apparel, and the proceeds from these sales are donated to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, the only national volunteer-based organization focused on funding research to find cures for Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. The Crohn’s & Colitis Collective donates 90% of its proceeds to this organization and aims to bring attention to the disease while supporting those affected by it. Breanna was selected as a Top 25 Women of Influence by Women of Influence+ in 2022.
