Red Sneakers For Food Allergy Awareness Walk/Run allows us to educate, spread awareness, and come together as an allergy community. The event includes Teal Pumpkin activities and education to help create allergy awareness and make the event family-friendly.
Red Sneakers Peoria: Recent Impact Highlights
Equipped 100 Peoria police officers with life-saving epinephrine auto-injectors
Partnered with 3 restaurants in Peoria Heights now carrying epinephrine and promoting allergy-safe dining
Trained educators at early learning centers to recognize and respond to allergic reactions and donated epinephrine
Expanded allergy-safe zones at major community events, including the Peoria Civic Center and the Peoria Chiefs. Both now have life-saving epinephrine.
Installed an allergy-friendly playground sign in Peoria Heights to raise awareness and promote inclusive play.
- Secured media coverage to amplify our mission and educate the public
Together, we’re building a safer, more inclusive Peoria—one partnership, one training, one life-saving dose at a time.
Put on your Red Sneakers, join the walk/run, and grab your teal pumpkin! Together, we’re raising funds and awareness to protect those with food allergies. Every step you take brings us closer to a safer, stronger community.
