Sweet Caroline Foundation

Sweet Caroline Foundation Sweet Caroline Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness of allergies. Caroline is with us every step of this journey.

The Sweet Caroline Foundation was started in remembrance of Caroline Lorette, who tragically passed away at the age of 14 after having an allergic reaction to dairy. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting allergy awareness, and offers allergy education programming for schools and organizations, as well as a scholarship awarded to students who develop and implement innovative ideas to bring aware

ness and education to students, adults and the general public. Six one-thousand dollar scholarships were awarded in June 2015 to six deserving applicants. It is our goal to spread the word about allergy awareness – educating staff and students in area schools, educating the public at wellness fairs and other events, and working toward having epinephrine available in public places. To find out more on how to apply for a scholarship please contact us.

We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of 8 year old Liam Gartland of Kingston, Ontario, who tragically lost his life from a severe allergic reaction after mistakenly receiving the wrong frozen treat from Dairy Queen.

The family had ordered a vegan Dilly Bar but Liam began reacting within minutes. His allergic reaction was exacerbated by asthma and a COVID-19 infection.
A GoFundMe has been created to support Liam's family in this difficult time.

Our thoughts and sympathy are with Liam's family and friends. Together, we must continue to raise awareness on the severity of food allergies and enhanced food allergy protections in restaurants.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, included, and understood at the table 💜

Food allergy awareness is more than reading labels, it’s creating spaces where everyone can participate without fear.

Together we can build safer and more inclusive communities for everyone living with food allergies.

Yesterday was an amazing day spent at Rothesay Elementary School sharing important lessons on food allergy awareness, common allergens, Caroline’s story, how to recognize anaphylaxis, and proper administration of an EpiPen 💜

The impact was huge as 265 students participated in 7 presentations throughout the day.

Thank you to the staff and students at Rothesay Elementary School for being so welcoming, engaged, and eager to learn!

“Everything happens for a reason right?”
Formula 1 rookie Arvid Lindblad opened up about his celiac disease diagnosis and the impacts it had on him as a young teen.
May is Food Allergy Awareness month in addition to Celiac Awareness month.
While different from a food allergy, it is important to work together to create safer environments and improve understanding for those affected.

A new law introduced in Virginia now requires restaurants to clearly mark all takeout orders that have been modified due to customer-reported food allergy.
In Canada, restaurants are not legally required to provide allergen info unless asked. This can make dining out risky for those with food allergies.

What do you think about this new law? Tell us in the comments!
