Thanks for providing this list -- I used this at my school in conjunction with teal pumpkin project promotion for non-food based treats to include all kids this Halloween!

It sounds like this Teal pumpking theme started in 2016. A great idea!! I wonder though, how the color Teal was chosen?? Can anyone tell me?? Thanks!! Terri

@FineSilver.99 - The first Teal Pumpkin was done in 2012. This is the story of how the Teal Pumpkin movement started . Teal was chosen because it is the color of food allergy awareness.

Thank-you Kathy P. for your reply on why Teal color pumpkins. But, still, why the color Teal? It is a very pretty color. I thought perhaps it might have been chosen because one can turn blue when passing out.

Congratulations to our third winner Krissy and her son Christian ! Christian asked his teacher to wear a teal ribbon this week for Food Allergy Awareness. She has worn it everyday and it makes him feel so special. Christian wanted to make her feel special too, so he got her a gift and wrote her a card. He even wanted the gift wrapped with teal ribbon. "Mrs. Newman, Thank you for supporting me. Having a food allergy is scary, but you make it better" - Christian

We officially moved into the country but our home town has a spooktacular festival the week before Halloween. I would really like to bring this tradition to my community. I think I am going to put a letter to the community in our local paper about the teal pumpkin project and then see if I can get donations for local businesses to do teal pumpkins during the festival so that people will also see it there and raise some awareness before Halloween. I am pretty late in doing this. hopefully it...

Sometimes it takes just one determined mom to make a difference. Here is what one West Virginia mom did in a short amount of time to create a spectacular Food Allergy Awareness Week (FAAW)! Earlier this year, Robyn Clark, a community member of Kids With Food Allergies (KFA), posted about looking for help with an Easter egg hunt. One thing led to another. And pretty soon, she found enough people to form a support group, the WV Children's Allergy Alliance. The group is one of the many support...
