NEW YORK, May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- THIS REPORT BROUGHT TO YOU BY MYLAN SPECIALTY.

AN ESTIMATED ONE IN 13 CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES SUFFERS FROM A FOOD ALLERGY, MAKING AWARENESS AND EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOL SETTING CRITICAL.

EMMY-AWARD WINNING ACTRESS, JULIE BOWEN AND MYLAN SPECIALTY HAVE TEAMED UP ON RAISE YOUR HAND FOR ANAPHYLAXIS AWARENESS(TM), A COMPETITION DESIGNED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF SEVERE OR LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGIC REACTIONS.

VISIT ANAPHYLAXIS101-DOT-COM TO HAVE YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT COUNTED AS ONE COMMITTED TO RAISING AWARENESS OF ANAPHYLAXIS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING PREPARED TO RESPOND IF IT OCCURS.

THE FOUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH THE MOST "HANDS RAISED" WILL BE AWARDED A $15,000 EDUCATIONAL GRANT.

JULIE BOWEN:

"I'm raising my hand and encouraging others to join me because too often, parents just like me, don't know their child has a life-threatening allergy until anaphylaxis occurs. That's why everyone should log on to Anaphylaxis101-dot-com to raise their hand and tell friends and family to do the same."

RAISE YOUR HAND FOR ANAPHYLAXIS AWARENESS IS PART OF THE GET SCHOOLED IN ANAPHYLAXISTM INITIATIVE.

VISIT ANAPHYLAXIS101-DOT-COM TO RAISE YOUR HAND AND LEARN MORE.
