- 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:
- In the past five years, peanut allergy
in children has 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 30,000 emergency room visits
each year.
- 150 to 200 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
