Undesignated Epinephrine (stock epi) saves lives. Installations across our country have proven critical in saving many lives of children and adults with Food Allergies. Food Allergy training has prevented countless more!
In less than a year, Red Sneakers Peoria has donated free stock epi and training to 5 Peoria facilities including Clink, UPC Discovery, Leaves ‘n Beans Coffee.
Most recently we trained staff and will very soon be equipping the Peoria Civic Center with stock epi!
The Peoria Civic Center is a Central destination in the Midwest for Entertainment, Business and Events featuring Professional Hockey and College Basketball. It is one of Central Illinois’ Largest Public Facilities and soon to become the area’s first Allergy Friendly Arena, Theater and Exhibition Hall and believed to be the First Allergy Friendly Stadium in the State!
Nearly 500,000 people visit the civic center each year highlighting the importance of equipping facilities like these with life saving epinephrine!
We need your support to grow our life saving stock epi initiative, increase our fundraising capabilities as well as expand our other initiatives.
