Cookies for a Cause!
Food Allergies and Intolerances are life threatening. One crumb can be fatal to someone suffering from an allergy.
In Peabody, a group of parents and kids with allergies has started an Allergy Awareness Initiative to raise awareness around allergies
and food intolerances. In addition to city-wide events, we are always focusing on
our kids someday enjoying an allergy free life.
There is a team of
doctors working hard at Boston Children's Hospital to support this dream
and find a cure or at least a treatment for life threatening allergies.
Thank you Dr. Umetsu and team!
We have created a fundraiser called "Cookies for a Cause!" The proceeds
raised from this fundraiser will be donated directly to Dr. Umetsu at
Boston Children's by our allergy families.
$2.50 for 4 cookies all wrapped up in a cute bag and tied with ribbon...
just in time for Valentine's Day! The cookies are made in a nut free bakery, Jeanne's Bakeshop in Lynnfield.
Wouldn't your teachers, dance teachers, karate instructors,
grandparents, friends, family members, parents, employees and staff love
to receive a package of cookies.....while helping to support our dream
of an allergy free life!
If you'd like to order, contact Kristie DeLoreto at kmd627@verizon.net or at 617-892-3537.
Thank you so much for supporting our efforts and bringing our kids closer to a cure or at least a way a treatment option.
