We can't emphasize enough the need to be careful during this "food intensive" holiday!

Local chapters of Food Allergy support groups had a fundraiser this past weekend for the FAAN Walk for Food Allergy: Moving Toward a Cure in Tampa, Florida. The family fundraiser provided a “food and drink free” play day at a local Gymboree Play & Music.

I was a "worker bee" and also provided a big "Allergy Friendly" basket for the raffle. I had such fun and really enjoyed watching all these wonderful kids have such a good time. I took tons of photos and got a great one of our Cute Corporate Mascot, Jack!

The event raised almost $800 dollars and hosted more than 50 families. There were over 65 children enjoying the play floor during the afternoon. We had a brief visit from an honored guest celebrity, a “peanut dog”. This trained service animal helps a local boy to avoid a potential deadly exposure to peanuts. The dog will be one of the ambassadors at the FAAN Walk on November 14th.

A special thanks goes out to Gymboree and their employees for donating the space and their whole Saturday to support this great cause.Just as a reminder, the Tampa FAAN Walk will be November 14th in Lowry Park, at Lowry Park Zoo, at 9:00 a.m. The website is www.foodallergywalk.org/tampa_fl.

One more reminder, if you are local (or feel like taking a long drive!) we are having a " FAAN 5% Day" at Whole Foods on Dale Mabry. The store is donating 5% of their sales on November 11th to the FAAN Walk! Come hungry! I will be there to introduce you to the "Peanut Dog" and pass out information.

Please show your support for these great kids!

Have a safe and wonderful weekend.
