Appetite for Awareness 2012

Looking for a road trip? Philly is only 1.5 hours from NYC and easy to get to by bus or train. Read on for more information. (Transportation information below)

The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness is thrilled to announce the return of our signature gluten-free event.

Highlights include:

Gluten-Free Cooking Spree: Philly’s top chefs serving with our favorite physicians Chef demos in front of the Grand Staircase Children’s Pavilion with kid-friendly gluten-free food and fun Beer Garden with flat-screen TVs (Watch the game!) And the opportunity to win a 1-year Mercedes-Benz lease (http://www.celiaccentral.org/Win-a-1-Year-Lease-on-a-Mercedes/686/) One ticket price gets you in the door, with unlimited gluten-free food and drink, an abundance of free samples and a reusable shopping bag.

This year, NFCA will honor Michael Savett, founder of Gluten Free Philly (http://www.glutenfreephilly.com/) and a longtime supporter of the foundation.
