Mission: The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Greater Kansas City Chapter, (AAFA-KC) is committed to enhancing and saving the lives of asthma and allergy sufferers through support, advocacy, education, research and access to treatment.
Programs: SuperKids Asthma Camp is a one-week exciting, educational experience for children (grades 1-6) diagnosed with asthma and allergies. They learn to manage their asthma and allergies, understand their disease, use their medications properly and feel good about themselves and their disease. The children benefit from close contact with other children who are similarly afflicted with asthma and allergies. Each child learns about asthma and allergy management through games, crafts, outdoor activities including swimming, an Asthma Olympics, and other fun activities from experienced health care professionals. The camp is a safe, medically supervised environment that fosters understanding and self-management of the disease without negative peer pressure.
