The Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) compiled a very detailed packet to promote Celiac Disease Awareness Month in October and National Celiac Disease Awareness Day (September 13). Starting on page 24, information and entry forms can be found for the photo contest, student essay contest, and recipe contest. The deadline for all three contests is December 1, 2009. The student essay contest is open to students from kindergarten through college.
The packet also contains great awareness ideas, fact sheets, and a press release template. The awareness month theme is "2.5 born every minute" since "every minute 2.5 persons are born with the genetic predisposition for celiac disease".

Amazing Awareness - Jones Dairy Farm
Jones Dairy Farm has over 50 gluten free products, which include many varieties of sausage, ham, and bacon. On December 4, 2008, the Celiac Sprue Association's press release announced that Jones Dairy Farm is now a corporate benefactor. Here is a statement from the Celiac Sprue Association's website - "In addition to financial support, Corporate Benefactor Members lend expertise and partner with CSA in special projects that further education, patient support/outreach and research for the celiac community."
I was impressed to see that on the Jones Dairy Farm homepage there is the logo from the Celiac Disease Foundation and a paragraph titled "Jones understands Celiac Disease" followed by a link to their gluten free list and gluten free recipes. Wow! How refreshing it is to not have to search a website trying to determine if a company has a gluten free statement or list. This information is often hidden in the frequently asked questions section or not mentioned at all. The numerous recipes are divided into the following categories: breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, and glazes. I really appreciate that they took the time to make this separate gluten free recipe list. Jones products are sold in supermarkets across the country.
