The Eighth Annual Spring Luncheon, presented by the Food Allergy Initiative, took place on April 17 at Cipriani 42nd Street.  All proceeds benefited the Food Allergy Initiative's research activities and educational programs aimed at finding a cure and effectively treating and raising awareness of food allergies.

Abbey Braverman and Roxanne Palin were this year's co-chairs.  The Guests of Honor were Dr. Hugh Sampson and Dr. Xiu-Min Li from The Elliot & Roslyn Jaffe Food Allergy Institute, Mount Sinai School of Medicine.  Lori Stokes, anchor, WABC-TV, was the Mistress of Ceremonies.

The Food Allergy Initiative is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for life-threatening food allergies. Through research and clinical activities, FAI's goal is to develop a cure by 2010.  FAI supports public policy initiatives to create safer environments for those afflicted with food allergies. They have also created educational programs for schools, health and child care workers and members of the food service and hospitality industries to increase awareness about food allergies.
