Our Mission
To create food allergy awareness by promoting education, providing support to Members and keeping children safe.

Cristina Stainkamp and Alisha Coupe are the leaders of
Protect Allergic Kids (PAK), a not-for-profit organization for Food Allergies, Anaphylaxis and other allergic diseases like Eos and Celiacs.

Disclaimer:
PAK is not a professional or medical organization.  It is a group of parents sharing information and supporting each other.  The discussions, meeting minutes, handouts, guest speakers, agendas, and other products of our support group do not constitute medical/legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.  Always discuss individual health questions and medical issues with a qualified personal physician.

In regard to Guest Speakers, the purpose of the presentations is to provide a variety of opinions on the spectrum on allergy issues. By no means is PAK adopting the views of its speakers, or endorsing them as medically accepted in the community. It is up to the guests to weigh the persuasiveness and acceptability of the presentations, based on their own knowledge and research.
