Adam Fein was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at ten years old. In wake of his diagnosis, his family wanted to bring awareness and hope for a cure through a euchre tournament.
Six years later, the tournament has since brought over 200 players participating and has raised over $280,000 for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
This year's seventh-annual EuCure for Crohn's tournament will take place Saturday, November 8 at St. Mary's Visitation Catholic School in Byron Center. Doors open at 5 P.M. for food and beverages, and the tournament will begin at 6:30 P.M. Participants must be over 21 to participate.
There is a $30 entry fee for those interested in participating, and raffle tickets are $10 each. Raffle items for this year's event include 20 Monroe Live tickets, autographed jerseys from Detroit's four sports teams, a 50 inch smart television, and many more gift packages.
There is also an option to pre-pay for tickets or make a donation through Venmo @eucureforcrohns or PayPal at eucure4crohns@gmail.com.
Adam and his father, John, returned to the Morning Mix to discuss the event's growth.
