Food Allergy Awareness Week — May 8 thru 15, 2011
“Give It Up!” for Food Allergy Awareness Week
Food Allergy Awareness Week is here! Join FAI’s 2011 “Give It Up” advocacy campaign and show your support for the 12 million Americans with food allergies—including some 3 million children. Here’s how it works:
Show your support by giving up a favorite food for the week, a day, or just one meal. Write your elected officials, urging them to increase federal funding for research that will lead to a cure. (If you wish, you can add your story to the letters we’ve prepared for you.) The federal government only spends about $28 million a year on food allergy research—far less than on other important diseases. It’s time to solve this major public health problem! Enter our poster contest! Enter on your own, or have family and friends join in the fun. You could win a Divvies gift certificate!Since 2007, Food Allergy Awareness Week has put the spotlight on life-threatening food allergies. FAI and other concerned organizations will be conducting activities throughout the week.JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TODAY AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Please help us get the word out! Share this e-mail—and be sure to take a look at these news stories:
- NBC Nightly News and MSNBC ran a compelling three-part story on the impact of food allergies on children, which cites results from an upcoming FAI-sponsored study and features interviews with 6-year-old Lily Martin and 15-year-old Morgan Smith—Colorado students with life-threatening food allergies.
- Read a statement from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—the agency responsible for most federally funded food allergy research.
