The competition was stiff when the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) hosted their 2nd Annual Back-to School Teen Broomball Social and took over the Ice at the Galleria. The free event allowed teenagers with food allergies to play broomball and meet other teens in an allergen-free environment. Broomball is a recreational version of hockey that’s played on ice but instead of skates, teams wear tennis shoes; instead of using sticks and a puck, players user brooms and a soccer ball.

FARE is the largest nonprofit in the country devoted to improving the lives of the 15 million Americans with food allergies and providing hope for the promise of new treatments. The Teen Social is a run-up event to FARE’s Food Allergy Walk on Oct. 6, one of the biggest food allergy walks in the country.  

Broomballers and referees seen in the rink included Daniel Chen, Colyn Connor, Kyle Connor, Climon Hall, Vincent Iandoli, Ben Kugler, Elaine Kugler, Eric Kugler, Sebastian Lubisay, Indrani Maitra, Tyler McRae, Serina Menon, Imani Muhammad, Kyle Nguyen, Phuc Nguyen, Tyler Nguyen, Ryan Shu, Mallory St. Denis, Freddie Starks, Austin Tran, Autumn Tran, Emma Tran, Kevin Tran and Nathan Tran.
