Opportunities to sponsor the PNW first food allergy conference!

The food allergy conference is really taking shape! Please visit http://wafeast.org/Seattle_Conference.html for the latest. I hope you are saving Saturday September 25, 2010!

Our goal is to make the conference affordable to all who would like to attend so we are looking for sponsors. Would you (or someone you know) like to be a part of the first ever Pacific Northwest food allergy conference? Our conference sponsorship invitation is found here (and as follows . . . )

Washington FEAST (Food Allergy, Eczema, and Asthma Support Team) is excited to announce the Pacific Northwest’s first food allergy conference. The conference will be held on Saturday September 25, 2010 at the Talaris Conference Center in Seattle.
So far we have the following line-up of speakers:
· Linda Coss, from Orange County, California and author of How to Manage Your Child's Life-Threatening Food Allergies. Ms. Coss is the conference keynote speaker.
· Jennifer S. Kim, MD, Assistant Professor, Mount Sinai School of Medicine - Pediatrics (New York, New York). Dr. Kim will present food allergy research updates.
· David Naimi, DO, Northwest Asthma and Allergy, Dr. Naimi will steer a panel discussion on anaphylaxis.
· Kelly Morgan, President of Washington FEAST. Ms. Morgan will instruct on school food allergy resources.

WA-FEAST is a 501(c)3 non-profit support and education group organized by volunteers. We have a listserv with over 500 members and we sponsor quarterly speaker meetings. We will be promoting this conference regionally. Many families in the area cannot afford to attend FAAN conferences in other parts of the country, so we would like to price this conference at a reasonable rate for those living in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, and British Columbia.

To achieve our goal of affordability, we are seeking sponsors and are offering conference sponsorship opportunities at three different levels (see next page)UPDATE! ALL benefits are now available for only $100 as a special introductory rate!. We believe this is a mutually beneficial arrangement since we will be reaching out to hundreds of families who will hear of your product or service through our conference promotion.

Thank you for taking the time to consider sponsoring the first-ever Seattle food allergy conference. We look forward to hearing from you!

Kelly Morgan, President and Board Chair
