Food Allergy Awareness Week 2011
It's that time of year again. Food Allergy Awareness Week takes place May 8-14 2011. If you or someone you love lives with food allergies, then you know that in reality every week is food allergy awareness week. But the sanctioned FAAW is a great time to educate or even re-educate those around you.
What can you do:
How about "Give It Up"? The Food Allergy Initiative (FAI) suggests giving up a favorite food or a food allergen during Food Allergy Awareness Week to show support for those with food allergies. They also suggest that you write Congress and ask them to increase federal funding for food allergy research to help find a cure. And lastly, enter the poster contest to win a $100.00 Divvies gift card. There are 3 categories: Ages 3-6, ages 7-12, and ages 13 and up. The contest is open from May 8 through May 31st.
