Support #FAACT for #GivingTuesday TODAY through December 3 This time of the year can make us feel isolated as we work even harder to avoid allergens while navigating food-focused holidays. You’re not alone. Your FAACT family—the community that we create together—is here to support you and families like yours across the nation. But we can’t do this critical work without your help. On #GivingTuesday, please consider making a donation to support the life-saving programs and outreach that FAACT provides to the food-allergy community. Outreach, advocacy, and education—that's what your donation helps FAACT provide to families and individuals, schools, camps, restaurants, local communities, and more...FREE of charge. Every donation provides education and awareness resources, Camp TAG scholarships, and many other mission-based initiatives. Your donation now through Tuesday, December 3, can help us make an even bigger impact next year! “What makes Camp TAG special for our kids is being around peers who accommodate the same obstacles daily. At camp, they practice advocating together; they even include non-allergic siblings. The real-world practice the kids get while role-playing at Camp TAG carries them through the school year. It echoes in their head at the lunch table and gives them confidence during the happy birthday song at the party. There is strength in the games they play at Camp TAG.” ~ Amanda, Justin, Helen, and Mary (Ohio) Pictured: Mary, Helen, and Camp TAG Leader Anne Donate $100 or more to be entered into a drawing for ONE (1) free registration for FAACT’s Allergy Summit 2025 OR Camp TAG (location of your choice: OH, MI, or TN) — valued at more than $500!

Preparing for Holidays With Food Allergies Holiday gatherings are usually filled with family, friends – and food. Here are just some of the many tips from FAACT for traveling during any holiday season, as well as dining in/out to help you avoid any potential dangers! Traveling during holidays: ? Plan your route and note allergy-friendly restaurants to visit along the way. Dinner at your house: ? Gently, but thoroughly, go over how to avoid cross-contact in the kitchen. Dinner at a family member or friend’s house: ? Offer to help the host cook the food. Dining out during the holidays: ? When at the restaurant, let your server know about the allergy. Ask to speak to the manager and/or chef so you have no doubt the kitchen has been made aware.

#ICYMI! #FAACT's Digital Influencer Summit: A Great Success! Wow! FAACT, Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team's Digital Influencer Summit provided an open forum for attendees to explore, learn, and connect with others in the allergy community. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the weekend such a fun and successful event! We had 120 attendees from 28 states and Canada. Over four days with thirty-three hours of learning, hundreds of hugs, and thousands of smiles, FAACT brought together those who are passionate about making the world better for those living with food allergies (and related conditions). With 30 sessions to choose from and inclusive group lunches and dinners, participants discovered new friends, connected with old friends, & created new relationships with influencers and brands important to our allergy-related world. The Summit was highlighted by a Company expo where everyone explored allergy-friendly brands, patient advocacy organizations, pharma companies, & more - and enjoyed personal discussions with the exhibitors. FAACT also provided top nine allergen-free lunches and dinners with a few special meals for our Alpha-Gal friends. Check out the post-conference video to see what a great time we all had. https://buff.ly/4eAVa5v Thank you to our wonderful partners and exhibitors for making this event possible and making this world a safer and better place for our communities.

It’s Playdate Time! When young children with food allergies are ready to have playdates, we can often feel overwhelmed. Hosting playdates in our own homes is one way to have more control over the situation. It won’t be long before your child wants to play at someone else’s house. How will this happen? Talking about this beforehand can help both parents and kids feel more prepared. Your child might even like to use imaginary play and have a playdate with you and their favorite stuffed animal or toy.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to speak at the FAACT, Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team, Digital Influencer Summit on two panels this past weekend. It was a wonderful opportunity to share my knowledge on what companies are looking for from influencers and growing your online presence. I enjoyed connecting with like-minded individuals, learning from digital marketing and medical experts, and deepening my understanding of how we can collectively make a difference for people affected by food allergies. Thank you to FAACT and everyone involved for creating a space to empower one another. I look forward to applying these insights to my work and continuing to make an impact. #digitalmarketing #digitalmarketingsummit #socialmediainfluencer #faact #foodallergies
