Allergy Action Awards 2025

Join us for an inspiring evening as we celebrate the incredible advocates making New York—and the nation—a safer place for everyone living with life-threatening allergies.

This year’s honorees bring passion, expertise, and lived experience to the table. Together, their efforts have led to:

• Expanded access to epinephrine
• Stronger food allergy labeling laws
• Greater public awareness of when and how to use epinephrine
• A stronger, more supportive allergy community

A Family-Friendly Celebration
This isn’t just an awards night—it’s a celebration with:

Light hors d'oeuvres and drinks will be served. You will be charmed by special staged reading of Immuniforce, The Anaphylaxis Strike. Written by Thomas Silvera, directed by Sandi Henschel, and performed by a talented cast of local middle schoolers. This heartwarming story empowers children and adults alike to stand strong in the face of the villain Anaphylaxis!

Rose Hasan of Balloony Sandwiches, Rochester's own balloon artist extraordinaire, will be on hand to create some balloon magic.

As always, your MC for the evening will be Brenda Tremblay of Drive Time Classical on WXXI Radio. 

Admission is Free – Support is Welcome
While the event is free to attend, your generous support helps us continue building safe, inclusive communities for everyone living with life-threatening allergies.

Let’s celebrate, support, and move forward—together.
