While not an actual word, ‘Sidified’ could refer to the experience of being infectiously enthused and energized by Ottawa fashion guru Sid Cratzbarg, host of the Get Sidified gala held at the Sala San Marco banquet hall on Friday.

The evening brought together a crowd of 150 and raised funds for research into Crohn’s and colitis. The inflammatory bowel diseases affect one in 150 Canadians. “It’s a son of a b-tch,” said Cratzbarg, matter of factly, after making his splashy grand entrance (he danced up and down the runway just prior to the start of the fashion show featuring Manhattan West, Vernini Uomo Men’s Wear and Zarucci).
Cratzbarg told the crowd how he’s made it his mission to host his charity gala every year “until I’m in an old-age home or have dementia”.

As well, he credited gala attendee Dr. Robin Boushey for saving his life. The Ottawa colorectal surgeon performed an emergency operation on him after he fell deathly ill with ulcerative colitis some 10 years ago. Cratzbarg, while still in hospital recovering, was visited on Christmas Day by Boushey and his daughter, then five. The next Christmas began a tradition of gifts arriving for the Bousheys, signed by a mysterious individual with the initials S.C. While Boushey knew it to be Cratzbarg, his daughter figured otherwise, and later told school classmates that her father had operated on and saved Santa Claus.

“That is a true story, and I think it really highlights the great man we’re dealing with here,” said Boushey. “He’s continued to be a champion and is truly an ambassador for Crohn’s and colitis.”
