National Celiac Association San Diego
Support Group or Related Area Events
Our support group plans educational events throughout San Diego for adults and children with celiac disease or gluten related disorders and their families and our events are open to the public.
Upcoming Events in the San Diego Area during 2018 and 2019:
May 19, 2019: (Sunday) 1:00- 2:30 pm (Family Event)- Mountain Mike's Pizza Party & NCASD Fundraiser with Celiac Dietitian EA Stewart; Fundraiser runs all day!
---Who: Anyone can participate in the fundraiser; Parents/Kids may especially like to join our Raising Our 'Raising Our Celiac Kids' get together with a celiac dietitian/mom from 1-2:30 pm (the dietitian will be there from 1:30-2:30). Focus areas will include strategies to empower students with gluten disorders and their parents more in the school setting. We will also touch on important 504 plans tips for kids of all ages and the importance of understanding the school's Wellness Plan in helping children with celiac disease at the school.
We'll bring gluten free treats, too.
Where: Mountain Mike's Clairemont location only
Families please rsvp for the luncheon approx. 8 weeks before the event so we can bring enough gf treats and special items for your children. The first 10 kids who rsvp will be given a special treat, also!
-------
Update as of Friday, April 16, 2015: We have over 23 people signed up to attend so far, with kids of all ages and parents planning to attend. Please continue to rsvp so we can make sure we have enough space, something special for the kids, and a free dessert for everyone.
As a special treat just for the kids who RSVP'ed, we are going to buy beautifully decorated gluten-free cupcakes from a dedicated bakery for the party (both DF and with Dairy). Adults will be served King Arthur brand GF brownies made in one or our Board Member's homes (with a dedicated GF Kitchen).

All Day Fundraiser: The fundraiser technically lasts all day and all you have to do is stop by anytime and mention your meal is supporting the National Celiac Association San Diego support group, and they will contribute part of the funds back to our non-profit.
Simply mention our National Celiac Association San Diego support group when you eat at Mountain Mike's ANYTIME on May 19 at this event (including takeout and delivery), and up to 30% of the proceeds will be donated to our support group.
