Red Sneaker Day Spotlight: Emilee Husband

Red Sneaker Days provides a “day” when everyone wears their red sneakers/shoes (or anything red) and participates together to raise awareness for the dangers of food allergies. The goal is not only to increase education and awareness to the communities of those suffering with food allergies, but just as importantly, to educate those who are not directly affected by them.

Emilee is a Red Sneaker Ambassador in the 5th grade. Emilee is a participant in her school’s 4-H program where she decided to utilize her platform to educate her community about food allergies and Red Sneakers for Oakley.

Emilee presented twice in her school and advanced to the semi-finals held at the 4-H office in her county. After her presentation for her semi-finals presentation one of the judges commented how he had never heard of Red Sneakers for Oakley. This judge is responsible for the food during the yearly 4-H Camp, so he was very intrigued by Emilee’s food allergy presentation. He seemed excited to learn more about allergies and how he can incorporate this knowledge in the upcoming 4-H Camp!
