Dine Allergy Safe Fund
AddieTellsAll is proud to help launch the Dine Allergy Safe Fund—a designated fund at the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America supporting advocacy for clear, transparent allergen labeling.
About the Dine Allergy Safe Fund
AAFA's Dine Allergy Safe fund supports the research, advocacy, and education needed to bring allergen labeling to more states. Similar bills have already been introduced in six states, and with AAFA's national reach, we're ready to bring this legislation to more states.
About the Sacramento Food Allergy Awareness Walk
To celebrate SB 68 and keep the momentum going, AddieTellsAll partnered with FoodSage, a youth-led food allergy initiative, to co-host the Sacramento Food Allergy Awareness Walk. 150 people came together to support the cause and helped launch the AAFA's Dine Allergy Safe Fund to help carry this work forward.
About AddieTellsAll
Robyn, a pediatric nurse practitioner, and her daughter, Addie, are food allergy advocates behind the @AddieTellsAll platform. Addie is the namesake of SB 68 ADDE, and this mother-daughter duo co-sponsored California's landmark allergen labeling law. Their story, starting with a Mother's Day dumpling dinner, drove the community momentum that helped pass the ADDE Act. Learn more on their website.
Their Story
My name is Addie, and I have food allergies.
For kids with food allergies, eating out can feel overwhelming. We have to be careful about everything on the table, and sometimes that means missing out on birthday parties, family dinners, and traditions most people take for granted. But, one Mother's Day, I ate dumplings at a restaurant for the very first time. My mom started crying tears of joy. It was the first time I could safely eat a meal like that at a restaurant.
That moment grew into something bigger. Together with my mom, our community, Senator Menjivar, and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, we helped pass SB 68, the ADDE Act.
This event brings families together to celebrate that progress and to launch what comes next.
Your support helps kids like me feel safer when we eat out, and helps more families find their own version of that dumpling on Mother's Day.
Together, we can help everyone "dine allergy safe."
