 Host A Red Sneaker Day

Oakley’s favorite sport was soccer.  The Debbs have begun yearly soccer tournaments and fundraisers in both Palm Beach, FL and Quogue, NY. It is way for entire families to come together in support of their friends with severe food allergies.  We encourage other communities around the world to organize their own soccer games, field days, tennis tournaments or whatever family recreation that is enjoyed.

Schools are a gateway to reach children, parents and educators. We have worked with schools across the country to organize Red Sneakers Days, which include clinical education, defined precautionary programs, and industry facts from our national partners. The goal is not only to increase education and awareness, but to educate those who are not directly affected by them

 

Spread Awareness

 

Note: We offer you tips, guidelines, and some advice. But remember, we are not medical professionals. Always ask your doctor/pediatrician/allergist if you have specific questions about your particular case and your allergens.

 

Red Sneakers for Oakley is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of food allergies and we need your help! Here we outline many ways you can get involved and help raise awareness.

We are all our best advocate, and we are most convincing when we have powerful statistics to quote. We also have great testimonials to share, and they are a great way to get people to stop and think about what living with food allergies really means. And visuals: powerful graphics to get people talking.

We engage in food allergy outreach in a variety of ways: Our school initiative, awareness events at community centers, restaurants, local businesses, even fitness gyms. We disseminate information to national media outlets, socially conscious brands (e.g., apparel, footwear, sporting goods, food products), and social influencers with broad platforms.

Thank you in advance for your support!
