Children's Dance-a-thon to Raise Funds and Awareness
This special day will also include a wonderful opportunity for families to get involved in fundraising for food allergies. A fun Dance-a-thon for young children will take place while Kyle performs. Dance-a-thon participants and teams can collect donations online by signing up for a fundraising page now.  

Donations can be collected in person (using this form) and submitted on the day of the Dance-a-thon. Proceeds of all funds raised will go to Kids With Food Allergies programs, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide education and a caring support community for families raising children. Funds will be used for KFA's education programs and for funding additional allergy-friendly family events in the greater Philadelphia area.
