Be a PAL Program
 Be a PAL: Protect A Life™ From Food Allergies is an educational awareness program designed to help parents and educators teach students what food allergies are and how to help their friends who have food allergies.
The PAL program teaches five simple steps kids can take to keep their classmates safe:
- Food allergies are serious. Don’t make jokes about them.
- Don’t share food with friends who have food allergies.
- Wash your hands after eating.
- Ask what your friends are allergic to, and help them avoid it.
- If a friend who has food allergies becomes ill, get help immediately!
A PAL Hero is someone whose actions help prevent a serious allergic reaction, or even save a life. Honor PAL Heroes with special recognition and the PAL Hero Award certificate.
Bring the PAL program to your school today! Make a classroom presentation, provide information for school health fairs, or take advantage of other opportunities to spread awareness. The following resources can help:

“I purchase FAAN’s Be a PAL pencils for the classroom teacher to use as gifts for children who do kind things for my child. So, if a child brings a safe lunch and eats at the special table, or if someone brings in a safe birthday treat for the class, he or she gets a pencil. They love the recognition!”
