Our annual fundraising event was rained out on 8/5/23. Since we have some amazing donations that won't make it to our rescheduled date of 9/23/23, we decided to create an online auction! Please checkout these sweet deals (click auction above) for baseball, golf, and a weekend getaway to the beautiful Galena, IL!

We hope to see you at our rescheduled Brews and Jams event on September 23!

Embrace Emily's Story:

Embrace Emily was born in 2014 with one goal in mind: to help provide financial support to our friend Emily as she treated her metastatic breast cancer with alternative therapies not covered by traditional health insurance. Her “St. George Convention,” together with friends and family held a huge fundraiser to raise money to get her to the Herzog Clinic in Nidda, Germany. With that mission accomplished, we came together again in 2016 for another successful event to keep her momentum going. Emily managed her diagnosis from 2009-2017, all while building her own community of cancer warriors. Emily was passionate about reaching out to others enduring their own battle, offering her knowledge, her experiences, and her friendship.

Before Em passed in April of 2017, her friends made her a promise to keep Embrace Emily going to keep her legacy alive. We are forever grateful to the selfless giving you offer our community members affected by breast cancer and other cancers, and we are 100% confident that Emily is too.
