Sweet Caroline Foundation Information

The Sweet Caroline Foundation was started in remembrance of Caroline Lorette, who tragically passed away at the age of 14 after having a severe allergic reaction to dairy. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting allergy awareness and to spreading Caroline's story, ensuring that no family has to endure a tragedy from anaphylaxis. We offer allergy education programming for schools and community organizations helping teach them about not only recognizing and treating anaphylaxis but also having the compassion needed to make it easier for young people living with severe allergies. The Foundation also created the Sweet Caroline Fund, a permanent endowment set up to award multiple annual scholarships to students who develop and implement innovative ideas to bring awareness and education to students, adults and the general public. We are a grassroots organization, focused on making our Greater Saint John community the most allergy aware in the world. Our 100% volunteer organization spreads the word about allergy awareness by educating staff and students in area schools, educating the public at wellness fairs and other events, and working toward having epinephrine available in public places. Caroline is with us every step of this journey.
