Global FPIES Day is fast approaching, set for October 14th, 2014.
We are so excited for this huge awareness raising opportunity and we are also
so excited that so many FPIES Families are getting involved!
There are quite a few events and fundraising opportunities right
now and we thought it would be helpful to highlight them here:
FPIES Fashion!
Thanks to FPIES mom, Jessie Ipson Richens! She raised funds and
awareness through her very successful TFund Global FPIES Day t-shirt &
Jamberry Nail Wrap sales! This sale was limited to enable shipments to be received before Global FPIES Day. If you ordered one of these products, expect

Every day more people learn about FPIES, but every day more children
are diagnosed with it. Together we can make a change. Small amounts add up fast.
Some examples of where the money goes:
‘75’ dollars will send 100 doctors FPIES information packets
‘50’ dollars will get 25 newly diagnosed FPIES families vital information
to help them navigate this challenging diagnosis.
'25' dollars will distribute rack cards to at least 50 allergy
fair attendees.
Additional funds are allocated in varying amounts to larger scale
education, outreach, and scientific meeting/research initiatives.
Together we can all ‘Be the Voice’ for our children and others living with FPIES.
