Strides for Safe Kids®
Mall Walk and Expo (in Philadelphia)

September 9, 2012 10am-1pm (registration starts at 9) Plymouth Meeting Mall (indoors)

Join us this year for a KFA fundraising walk (or stroll!), food allergy awareness, family entertainment and friendship. We encourage all families interested in supporting food allergy education and awareness to attend.

All activities will be held indoors, so no need to worry about the weather!

Parents have the opportunity to meet new friends, find new allergy-friendly foods and products and enjoy seeing their kids surrounded by other kids and adults who "get it." Please join us as we all take Strides for Safe Kids!

Please consider fundraising or starting a fundraising team to help keep kids with food allergies safe today and tomorrow!


Event proceeds will be used towards KFA's education and support programs, including the ACCESS KFA* program to help all families raising children with food allergies create a safe and healthy future for their children.

Event Features:

• 5K walk through the Plymouth Meeting Mall (7 laps)
• Interactive Performance by "Food Allergies Rock" Musician Kyle Dine
• Award-Winning Family-Friendly Magic of Kyle and Kelly
• Allergy-Friendly Exhibits from Elmwood Park Zoo
• Activities for Children
• Allergy-Friendly Businesses
• Prizes for Fundraising
• And More!

* What is ACCESS KFA?

ACCESS KFA is Kids With Food Allergies Foundation's life-saving new program to help those families who may not know that our resources exist or who may have trouble accessing them. To reach these under-served families, we'd like to develop resource materials written at a 5th grade reading level and will present information in webinar format so families can benefit regardless of their reading level. The plan also includes developing materials in Spanish. We are very excited about this initiative as until now, there is limited information available for day-to-day living with food allergies for non-English speaking individuals or those with lower literacy skills. With your help, we can reach out to parents who desperately need us.

Call for Volunteers!
