Organiser's description

Red Sneakers for Oakley (RSFO) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit established in 2016 after Oakley Debbs tragically passed away due to an anaphylactic allergic reaction. The foundation has dedicated its resources to education and advocacy for food allergy awareness to save lives across the globe. Our very own Claire Roussakis is an ambassador for the foundation, helping to raise awareness for food allergies.
