FAACT's 10 Years of TEAL Voices Anniversary
The heart of the 32 million Americans in the food allergy community

by Eleanor Garrow-Holding, President & CEO

For years I had been a food allergy mom, a volunteer, a support group leader, and then worked at the national level in the food allergy space, but it felt like a critical connection was still missing.

Did the medical professionals and pharmaceutical researchers working in this field really understand what life was like for families living with food allergies? How could teachers and school administrators—even our own families—help our community if they weren't truly a part of it?

I founded the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT) to give food allergy families a voice. To educate families AND medical professionals. To advocate for children and adults living with food allergies. And to build connections among all of us. Food allergy families always support each other. I wanted to expand that support and share our stories so others could understand what we needed—and why.

We hope you'll join us in celebrating our 10 Years of Teal Voices social media awareness campaign. Please let us know how FAACT has helped you in the past—and how we can help you today.

We are so excited to share our 10-year anniversary with you and hope you'll join us in sharing some "Teal Love" on social media.

Raising the visibility of food allergies online helps generate awareness about just how many people are affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis—and how others can support us.

Celebrate with us by posting a selfie or a quick video with your hands in a heart and sharing what FAACT means to you and/or your family. Here's how that might look:

"I am one in 32 million Americans managing food allergies and am allergic to [allergens]. What FAACT means to me…[and share your story]."
