Fundraising Update for Emersyn's Entourage!

Hi Everyone,

Here is a quick update on how Emersyn’s Entourage is doing. So far, we have 88 team members running/walking/rolling for Emersyn and have raised an impressive $3,020. WOW! We have already surpassed last year’s total of 82 team members. We cannot thank everyone enough for registering to be part of Emersyn's Entourage and for all of your hard work raising funds!

In addition to the amazing job everyone is doing registering for the run and collecting sponsors and pledges Jason and I have been blown away by all of the fantastic ideas that people have come up with to help our team reach our goal. We thought we would share a few of those ideas with everyone and let you know of the upcoming events that are scheduled. All proceeds raised at these events will go directly to supporting Emersyn’s Entourage and our goal of $10,000:

A huge thank-you to Michele Robinson and the Tournament Committee at the City of Brampton for organizing the “Emersyn’s Entourage Dodgeball Tournament”. The tournament is scheduled for Thursday, June 17th at the Terry Miller Recreation Centre in Brampton.

A big thank-you to Dean Porcellato for organizing a Tennis Charity Tournament for SMA in Emersyn’s Honour, the tournament is scheduled for June 11/12 at various Community Tennis Clubs across Mississauga.

Another big thank-you to Jennifer Irvine for organizing the “Karma Yoga Class for SMA” in honour of Emersyn, which is scheduled for Saturday June 12th at Kula Yoga Studio in Burlington, Ontario on 4031 Fairview Street from 5:30pm-6:30pm.
