GOLDEN RING HAS BEEN AWARDED....
FARE Awards $14,000 in Funding to Title I Schools Across the U.S.
Grants are part of the organization’s inaugural Collaborator Community Impact Awards: Back to School, dedicated to food allergy awareness and education programming
McLean, Va. (November 9, 2020) – Today, FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education), the world’s leading non-governmental organization engaged in food allergy advocacy and the largest private funder of food allergy research, announced $14,000 in funding to 20 different schools, school districts, and Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) across the country as part of its inaugural Collaborator Community Impact Awards: Back to School program.
FARE partnered with the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and National Association of School Nurses (NASN) to invite their members to apply for funding of up to $750 for food allergy education programming and support in Title 1/Title 1-eligible schools. Title 1 schools are defined as schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families which are receiving federal funding assistance to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
“More than 5.6 million children live with potentially life-threatening food allergies – that’s about one in 13 children, or two in every classroom,” said Lisa Gable, chief executive officer of FARE. “A critical part of FARE’s mission is making sure underserved communities have the resources they need. In these under-resourced schools, everyone from teachers to the school nurse to the cafeteria staff plays a role in creating a safe environment for students with food allergies. FARE is committed to doing our part to help everyone better understand this disease, which can be fatal and for which there is no cure.”
Funded program activities include adding allergy-friendly foods to a school food pantry, purchasing storage cabinets for epinephrine auto-injectors, and creating public service announcements.
Partial support of the awards was made possible by a gift from the Emily Zaltsman Memorial Scholarship Fund.
