-Allergy-conscious snacks

-Opportunities to connect with other local families and advocates

-Shirts for those that register DEADLINE FOR SHIRT GUARANTEE WITH REGISTRATION IS SEPTEMBER 18TH

A portion of proceeds will support the Teal Pumpkin Project by FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education Organization) while another portion of proceeds will go back to our community to support food allergy awareness and outreach.
