ABOUT FARE
Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) works on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies, including all those at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis.
This potentially deadly disease affects 1 in every 13 children in the U.S.
or roughly two in every classroom.
FAREs mission is to improve the quality of life and the health of individuals with food allergies, and to provide them hope through the promise of new treatments.
Our work is organized around three core tenets: LIFE support the ability of individuals with food allergies to live safe, productive lives with the respect of others through our education and advocacy initiatives; HEALTH enhance the healthcare access of individuals with food allergies to state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment; and HOPE encourage and fund research in both industry and academia that promises new therapies to improve the allergic condition.
