MEETINGS:
Our meetings focus on ways to deal with food allergies and anaphylaxis in everyday life. They frequently include speakers and/or discussions on issues such as schools/preschools, family life, recipes and sharing ideas on successfully raising our children with food allergies.
We meet 6 times a year: January through May, September
Most of PAK's meetings are held in South Charlotte at St. Matthew Catholic Church located at 8015 Ballantyne Commons Parkway, on the corner of Ballantyne Commons and Rea Road. We meet in Room 234/235 in the New Life Building. If you are facing the front of the Church, the New Life Building is the building connected to the main chapel on the right. It is easier to get to if you park in the lot on the side off Elm Street.
The 3rd Annual Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) Carolinas Walk for Food Allergy: Moving Toward a Cure will be held at Freedom Park on Saturday, October 25, 2008. Last year's Walk was a huge success! Over 450 walkers come out that day, committed to raising awareness about the growing prevalence and severity of food allergies. Through corporate sponsors and individual fundraising, we raised over $82,000 to go towards food allergy research and education. If you are interested in being a part of the 2008 walk, please email info@pakcharlotte.org. They can use your help! You can be part of the committee, help get sponsors, raise awareness by walking, whatever capacity your schedule allows.
