FARE walk for Food Allergy

There
are approximately 16 million Americans with food

allergies and 5.9 million of them are children. Food allergies cause 30,000 emergency room visits each year and are life-threatening. There is no cure.



Join us to
raise awareness, education and funds for research on Sunday, October 13th at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow at the FARE (Food
Allergy Research & Education) Walk for Food Allergies. Registration begins at 12:00. It will be a fun afternoon with a carnival area for smaller children, great raffles for the adults and an awesome DJ. Robbie Rosen from American Idol will be there for a
meet & greet & will be singing the National Anthem. Check out our
Facebook page at FARE Walk for Food Allergy on Long Island, NY. For more information
on food allergies and to register to walk with us visit www.foodallergywalk.org/ and look for the Long Island walk. We can’t wait to
see you there.
