On Saturday, May 10, Flagship Cinemas in West Wareham will hold an Allergy Awareness Day.

The event will be a fun and educational day to promote awareness of asthma and allergies in our community.  Asthma and allergies affects one in every five Americans and the number continues to grow.  Often overlooked, it is the most common disease in America.

There will be raffles, activities for kids, and more, and all of the proceeds from the event will go to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America;  the AAFA supports scientific research and ideas to improve the lives of allergy and asthma sufferers.  For more info visit www.aafa.org.

For more info on the event itself, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., contact Kary Atwood at 508-317-2087.  Free popcorn will be provided with any donation.

Remember:  allergy awareness = allergy preparedness.
