Lindsey Spangler

I am a passionate healthcare professional, nonprofit leader, and food allergy mom dedicated to saving lives through education, advocacy, and access to life-saving medication. As the Executive Director of Red Sneakers for Oakley (RSFO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit inspired by the life of Oakley Debbs, I lead national and international efforts to raise awareness about food allergies and anaphylaxis. Our mission is to ensure that all public entities—from restaurants to stadiums to police departments—are equipped with epinephrine to respond to allergic emergencies. With a background as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I bring clinical expertise and a deep understanding of patient care to my advocacy work. I am especially passionate about protecting individuals at risk for anaphylaxis, I am especially passionate about educating families on the risks of anaphylaxis and empowering them with the tools and knowledge to stay safe. As a former Division 1 soccer player, I understand the importance of resilience, teamwork, and community engagement. I am committed to driving change, empowering others, and creating a world where no life is lost to a preventable allergic reaction. Let’s connect and collaborate to make a difference.
