Food Allergy Awareness Week Proclamation 2015

I was delighted when I received this proclamation in the mail a couple of weeks ago.  You can get one too by visiting www.foodallergy.org, highlight the Tools & Resources tab, locate the Awareness Programs heading from the dropdown menu, then click on Food Allergy Awareness Week.  Here you will find the Request A Proclamation button.  Find your state and get started raising awareness.

For additional suggestions and ideas on how to get involved with raising awareness, click on the Take Action button.  Chances are good that you are already doing something to educate and inspire others about food allergies!
