Open Letter to Celiac and Gluten Intolerant Community Leaders 

You are invited to partner with the Gluten Intolerance Group of NA in the 
"Chef to Plate" international awareness campaign.   



GIG is gearing up now for the 2010 campaign. 2009 campaign information can 
be found at http://gluten.net/events.php . 

This campaign is about spreading awareness of celiac disease and gluten 
intolerances in partnership with restaurants that provide GF menu offerings. 
This is not about the promotion of any specific restaurant program. 

By working together we can promote awareness of celiac disease and gluten 
intolerances with the greatest amount of resources - the gluten intolerant 
community. 

This awareness campaign was a huge success last year.  Through our 
partnership with several organizations, we were able to help spread 
awareness about gluten intolerances to the public while dining. Our lists of 
restaurants with gluten free menus were posted on several websites.  We sent 
out over 5000 pieces of literature to 196 restaurants, including several 
chains, throughout the United States and Canada.  We estimate that this 
simple yet effective campaign reached more than 1.6 million people during 
the Celiac Awareness Month! 

Help us make this year's campaign an even bigger success!  Become a partner 
with GIG in this campaign.  As a partner in this event, your organization 
will be included in the media campaign listings and on GIG's website for the 
duration of the event. This costs you nothing but your time in helping us 
reach as many people as possible, through restaurants with gluten-free menus 
you know and trust. 

Become a contributing sponsor (share in the cost of the campaign) and your 
logo will appear on the literature in the restaurants. 

Participating restaurants loved this campaign last year and are eager to 
join again. We hope you will join us in this united effort to spread 
awareness about gluten intolerances. 


Sincerely,
