Anaphylaxis Canada has helped raise public awareness about life-threatening allergies, making Canada a safer place for individuals at risk. In the past few years, we've developed:

• Two first-rate websites
• The S.A.F.E. (Support Allergic Friends Everywhere) program for schools
• An expanded newsletter that reaches all Canadian allergists
• The Canadian Anaphylaxis Registry
• Several research projects
• The Canadian Anaphylaxis Research Award
• Phone support services

We have been asked to advise as consultants to the media, Health Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Canadian School Boards Association, the food and travel industries, and the Hospital for Sick Children.

We have been able to do this valuable work thanks to the generous donations we receive each year. But much remains to be done.

Did you know that:

Over 600,000 Canadians are at risk for anaphylaxis

4% to 8% are children

There is no cure for anaphylaxis

Quality of life is impacted by the need for ongoing vigilance

Allergies to peanut, tree nuts, and shellfish are often life-long

A minute amount of an allergy-causing substance can trigger a potentially life-threatening reaction

From our donors:
“I am sending this donation because I have witnessed the severity of this condition. Keep up the good work, it IS saving lives.”
