FAI CHICAGO
Founded in 2007 by a group of dedicated local parents, FAI Chicago is a local extension of the national FAI organization. FAI Chicago raises money to find a cure for food allergies and works to heighten food allergy awareness in the Chicagoland area.
The formation of local chapters, like FAI Chicago, is essential to creating a collective national voice. With other cities following suit, a national awareness of the prevalence and potential epidemic scope of this disease will thereby increase federal funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for food allergy research. Since 2007, FAI Chicago has raised $2.2 million.
Every fall FAI Chicago holds a benefit in honor of a dedicated Chicagoland family. This year we are honoring Linda Levinson Friend and Bill Friend, who have been dedicated advocates on behalf of the food allergy community for many years.
