Sabrina Shannon Memorial Award ($1000 post-secondary)

From Food Allergy Canada: 

June 10th is the deadline to apply for the seventh annual Sabrina Shannon Memorial Award

This award is dedicated to Sabrina Shannon, an inspiring teenager who suffered a fatal anaphylactic reaction in 2003. During her life, Sabrina helped to raise awareness about food allergy by creating a first-person radio documentary, "A Nutty Tale," which aired on CBC Radio in 2001. Since her passing, Sabrina's parents and other members of the allergy community have kept Sabrina's spirit alive by advocating for allergy-aware school environments. In 2005, Sabrina's Law was passed in Ontario, resulting in landmark legislation that has influenced school anaphylaxis policies across Canada.
