AAFA Remembrance Day 2026

On May 28, 2026, of National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and our division Kids with Food Allergies (KFA) are holding a Remembrance Day in honor of family members and loved ones who’ve passed from asthma or anaphylaxis. We also take time to remember other people who have needlessly been lost to preventable deaths.

On average, 9 people in the U.S. die from asthma each day. A few hundred die each year because of serious allergic reactions, called anaphylaxis [anna-fih-LACK-sis]. Most of these deaths were preventable. We believe one life lost to asthma or anaphylaxis is one too many.

On this day, we reflect on our mission to save lives and reduce the burden of these diseases on individuals, families, and caregivers.

We dedicate May 28 as a time to celebrate and honor lives lost and to continue to make a difference in memory of the people who live in our hearts forever.
