The Amanda Kanowitz Foundation has been established in memory of Amanda Rose Kanowitz, a beautiful,
fun-loving four-year-old little girl who died suddenly from Influenza B on March 1, 2004. Our mission is to save other children and spare other families the devastating tragedy of losing a child. Accordingly, we will work with top
doctors and researchers across the U.S. to:
- Increase awareness of the risks of Influenza and the importance of vaccinating all children and
adults
- Promote development of better
vaccines and effective antiviral drugs
- Determine which children should be considered high-risk for extreme reactions
to Influenza and other infectious diseases
- Identify preventative
measures and proactive treatment to protect high-risk children
- Develop treatment for high-risk children to prevent serious
complications/death once severe immunological reactions have been triggered
