Every summer, GIG Cares hosts Teen Summit, a one-of-a-kind experience where gluten-free teens from across the country come together to learn, connect, and grow. It is more than an event; it is a community built on confidence, friendship, and shared understanding.

After hearing from past attendees that they wanted more time together, we listened. For Teen Summit 2026, we’ve reserved Camp Blue Ridge for five days of hands-on learning and connection. Teens will attend workshops led by gluten-free professionals and influencers, exploring topics such as choosing a college that can safely accommodate them, communicating their dietary needs with confidence, and using mindfulness to support overall health.

These experiences build leadership, independence, and self-advocacy in the next generation of gluten-free consumers. They are made possible through the continued support of GFCO-certified brands like yours. Your commitment to certification goes beyond a label; it represents safety, trust, and a shared investment in this community’s future.

Now, we invite you to take that connection one step further by sponsoring Teen Summit 2026. Sponsorship opportunities include logo placement, brand recognition, and direct visibility with gluten-free families who trust your products every day.

Beyond Teen Summit, GFCO-certified brands also have access to exclusive opportunities through GIG’s newsletters, social collaborations, and other 2026 initiatives designed to expand your reach and strengthen consumer trust.

To ensure your brand is among the first to access these collaborations, contact Chad Lorenz (chad.lorenz@gluten.org). Together, we can continue building the credibility and consumer confidence that define the GFCO mark.

Be part of something extraordinary.
