Cel-Kids (formerly R.O.C.K. Tucson Chapter)

About Cel-Kids

Cel-Kids provides children and youth opportunities to meet and share experiences with others of their age-group who are also living with CD/DH.

Being a part of CSA's Cel-Kids Network allows you to meet other kids who know how you feel. Along with get-togethers, you will learn important things about staying healthy and living confidently everyday. It's nice to know you're not the only person in the world who has this weird-sounding celiac disease and can't eat the same pizza as your friends.

Tucson Events

Southern Arizona Celiac Support (SACS), our parent CSA support group, is having it's annual Food Faire, on May 10th at Christ Community Church (Pantano & Kenyon). For more details, see our colorful poster (print it out and pass it on if you know anyone who would be interested).

This year, over three hundred people are expected to attend. Vendors will be showing off and selling their gluten free wares. Some will have free samples. Also, there will a silent auction, drawing, and more, to raise funds for SACS, a which is a non-profit group.

Your local kids' group, Celiac-Kids Tucson will have its own table with a sign-up sheet, handouts, goodies. Let's all sign in at our table, so that we can plan our own get-together and chat on our message board on this web site.

Southern Arizona Celiac Support is also having an unprecedented opportunity for free blood work screening for Celiac Disease. The blood draw will take place at the Food Faire, and is free of charge. Screening participants must be 18 years old, or greater. For more details, return to the home page of this web site.
