'No child should die from the simple act of eating,' proclaims Merrill Debbs.Īn outpouring of community support rallied around Oakley's parents in support of their mission. Red Sneakers for Oakley was established by Robert and Merrill Debbs after the death of their 11-year-old son Oakley due to a fatal allergic reaction to nuts. And a staggering 32 million Americans have food allergies, 5.6 million of which are children. This means, every three minutes, a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room. Each year in the U.S., 200,000 people require emergency medical care for allergic reactions to food. The exclusive guest list enjoyed an amazing evening to celebrate the important cause of food allergy awareness. Almost all the attendees wore their 'most spectacular red shoes or sneakers.' Many thanks to the generous donors who contributed to this inspiring event, which raised over $280,000 to support imperative food allergy awareness, education, and programming.
