allergies, which affect up to 15 million Americans,
including 1 in 13 children—two in every classroom. Founded
in 1998, FAI is the world’s largest private source of
funding for food allergy research. Since its inception, the
organization has committed more than $75 million toward
research, clinical activities to improve diagnosis and
treatment, public policy initiatives to increase federal
funding for research and create safer environments, and
educational programs to heighten understanding and raise
awareness. Please visit
