Change Starts at Home

We are pleased to report that BAAAB’s Mireille Schwartz was honored this month at “Change Starts at Home,” for her creation of the Bay Area Allergy Advisory Board.

The magazine’s Laura Rose writes “For most parents with a child that has a life-threatening food allergy, just making sure their child is safe every day is more than enough to worry about. But Mireille Schwarz isn’t like most parents; she understands that all children are ‘our’ children.”

Our thanks goes to Change Starts at Home for helping us spread the word about the BAAAB, and the need to get EpiPens in the hands of families in need.

This amazing story from The Colorado Springs Gazette received international attention this week, and highlights the need for more research, education and understanding about the severity of food allergies.

BAAAB featured in SF Chronicle

We absolutely could not be happier by the coverage our organization received today in the San Francisco Chronicle.

The article “Lifesaving Lesson Highlights Birthday Bash,” written by one of the City’s best reporters, Carolyne Zinko, notes that “The recent kickoff party for the Bay Area Allergy Advisory Board featured something more valuable than a trinket: a lesson in how to use an EpiPen, an emergency treatment for people experiencing life-threatening allergic reactions.”

The article appears online, and also in SFis, the Chronicle’s monthly style magazine.
