Guggenheim Brownie Troop 434 Paints Teal Pumpkins for Allergy Awareness

During their monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 18th, the Brownies of Troop 434 painted small pumpkins a teal color to call attention to allergies. The girls will place these pumpkins in front of their homes to signal to children with allergies that they have non-food treats for them this Halloween.

The pumpkins were purchased at cost from North Shore Garden Center who is participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project. They also provided an additional 3 pumpkins to the Troop to paint teal and return to the garden center. These pumpkins will be sold at North Shore Garden Center for $5 and the proceeds will all be donated to FARE, Food Allergy Research & Education.

Many other Girl Scout Troops are participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project all added by North Shore Garden Center.
