The Teal Pumpkin Project for Allergy Awareness

The Teal Pumpkin Project is a new way to help ensure that all children have a fun and SAFE Halloween. Started by FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) we are all encouraged to start a new tradition and place teal pumpkins outside our home and have non food treats for children who suffer from allergies.

"This campaign encourages people to raise awareness of food allergies by providing non-food treats for trick-or-treaters and painting a pumpkin teal - the color of food allergy awareness - to place in front of their house along with a free printable sign from FARE to indicate they have non-food treats available. 

The Teal Pumpkin Project is designed to promote safety, inclusion and respect of individuals managing food allergies – and to keep Halloween a fun, positive experience for all." - FARE
