There will be plenty of gluten-free snacks and beverages. There will also be an information table chock full of resources especially helpful for newly diagnosed Celiacs. You can learn all about the Gluten-Free Restaurant Awareness Program which is enjoying great success, as more and more area restaurants sign on. There will also be a raffle, with many great prizes. T-shirts commemorating the event will be distributed free to all participants.

Over the last two years, the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group's participation in the International Walks for Celiac Disease have raised more that $60,000. Those proceeds were donated to fund research at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University and the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research. We're counting on repeating the successes of prior years and doing even better this year.
