I started Tee Up for Food Allergies to raise awareness among young kids about the dangers of food allergies. By visiting classrooms and golf camps, I get to share my story and teach children how to recognize the signs and symptoms of allergic reactions.
Topics discussed:
What food allergies are.
How to recognize the signs of an allergic reaction.
When and how to use an EpiPen.
We also hand out Food Allergy Toolkits that include:
A food allergy safety flyer.
A safe snack list.
A sample allergy-friendly snack.
Whether they have food allergies themselves or know someone who does, learning how to respond early can make all the difference, and that's what this project is all about!
