On December 19, 2014 Scarlet Anne Taylor at the age of 5 died suddenly from H3N2 Flu. Fight the Flu Foundation was built in honor of Scarlet, with a mission to educate the public about the Flu and how the community can participate in stopping the spread of influenza.
We have designed the Walk to Fight the Flu to bring our local community together and show support to The Faces of the Flu.
This event will help raise money for Fight the Flu Foundation and will be put towards the funding of education materials, Billboards, Flu vaccination access, The Flu Hat Campaign, and other needs of the organization.


We are needing volunteers to help with set up and tear down- clean up. Also help check in the walkers as well as a few booths need ran such as the Raffle booth.

Our mission is to increase the number of families vaccinated against influenza, to decrease the number of hospitalizations and to FIGHT THE FLU, AND WIN. To end influenza deaths.

Description

Fight the Flu Foundation was built in honor of my daughter Scarlet Anne who died December 19, 2014 from H3N2 influenza. I was a mother who didn't find vaccinations important until my daughter died from a vaccine preventable disease. It wasn't until my daughter died did I realize how important the Flu vaccination is. I am now a huge advocate for vaccinations. The mission of Fight the Flu Foundation is to educate on Flu vaccination as well as the flu itself. To tell my story a long with 11 other families who I know lost their child to the flu.
