- Donate to Research
-
- We must continue the momentum created by breakthrough research studies over the past decade. It is more important now than ever before to ensure that funding for this important work is sufficient. We need your financial commitment to advance research for a brighter future for the children and adults who suffer from food allergies. No donation is too small.
-
- Consider these facts:
- Between 1997 and 2002, peanut allergy in children doubled in this country.
- The estimated number of Americans with food allergy has increased to approximately 12 million from 6 million in a few short years.
- In the United States, food allergy is the leading cause of anaphylaxis outside the hospital setting, resulting in an estimated 50,000 emergency room visits each year.
- 150 people die from their food allergy reactions each year in this country.
- Symptoms can begin within seconds of ingestion of the wrong food; death can occur within minutes.
- Daily life is stressful for those with food allergy. There is no cure; avoidance of the food allergen is the only way to prevent a reaction.
- You can help us find the cure! Go here, to make a donation online. To make a stock donation, or matching gift, call (800) 929-4040. For fundraising ideas and events, follow this link.
