Food Allergy Awareness Week 2016: Turn It Teal

Turn It Teal is a grassroots effort which begin in 2014, and was founded by Stephanie Lowe. According to the Turn It Teal website, turnitteal.org, their mission is "to light as many sites as possible during Food Allergy Awareness Week, May 8-14 this year." They seek to encourage "more people to become educated about food allergies, their daily impact on people, and how they can help those with allergies, perhaps some day helping to find a cure."
