Spread the word.. and petition your govenor to proclaim Food Allergy Awareness Week in Your State!

May 10th - 16th is FAAN's 12th annual Food Allergy Awareness Week! Spread the word!

FAAN also needs our help to get all 50 states on board to proclaim Food Allergy Awareness Week. There are only 3 states who have already done this: Connecticut, Illinois, and Nebraska. If you would like your state to proclaim FAAW, you can request a proclamation by sending a letter to your governor, by e-mail, or by regular mail.

Personally, I can't believe California isn't already on this list! I'm going to spread the word any way I can, and try to get my state, California, to proclaim this important week by emailing my govenor, Govenor Schwarzenegger. Will you contact yours?

What else can we do to raise awareness for Food Allergies during this week? Talk to our schools, daycare, our elected representatives, or even raise funds for food allergies and donate to your favorite food allergy charity. FAAN also has a lot of downloadable posters, coloring books etc that can help you do this.

Lets spread the word together!
