Parents of kids with allergies say it helps their children feel less isolated on one of the biggest nights of the year for kids.
"Even if you don't have food allergies are you're participating, it shows that you're aware and standing behind that cause. that's what food allergy families are interested in is that it's out there and it is a concern," said Sheree Godwin, whose kids have food allergies.
