Briden Food Allergy Awareness Event

A Briden family gathering in honor of their son Matthew who at age 28 died from a peanut allergy. Always a helper with a kind heart, the family knows that Matthew would show his signature smile if their advocacy could benefit others and save lives.

As a family we are committed to advocate for Food Allergy Awareness and Education in restaurants so we can help others living with food allergies and their families avoid this tragic outcome. We have been vocal and working hard (check out the links below to see what we have been up to). Our efforts led to PA House Representative Arvind Venkat sponsoring and Representative Natalie Mihalek co-sponsoring a bill requiring a Food Allergy awareness program for Pennsylvania restaurants. This Bill passed the House on March 26, 2024, with a vote of 148-53 and moves to the PA Senate for a June 2024 vote. We ask that you please support us by attending this event or by contributing in Matthew's honor as we continue to partner with F.A.R.E. in fostering needed change. Matthew should be alive today, together we can help ensure that others living with food allergies are here tomorrow.
