IN MEMORY OF MARY RICHARDSON KENNEDY

The board of directors, members, and staff of the Food Allergy Initiative mourn the loss of our dear friend and dedicated volunteer, Mary Richardson Kennedy.  The loving mother of four children, including a son with severe food allergies, Mary brought her unique style and grace to her role as a benefit dinner chair for FAI’s signature event, the Food Allergy Ball.  We will always remember her for her intelligence, elegance, and gentle ways.  We send our deepest condolences to our board member, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to their children, and to the entire family.  Through her wholehearted commitment to our cause, Mary left a legacy of hope to millions of food-allergic children and their families. We are honored by her family’s continuing dedication to our mission.  Donations made in her name will hasten the day when we find a cure.
