As many of you are aware our community experienced a heart breaking tragedy recently. As part of the Redmond community we at O’Neil Arena want to come together with the community and also show our support and honor little Ember and the loss her family is experiencing! We will be participating in wearing Red and Orange so little Ember’s flame continues to burn brightly!

Friday June 5th Qualifier #3 bring your families and please come together and wear RED and ORANGE to help us remember this beautiful little girl and lift up her family with all the support we can in this unimaginable time! We want the stands and chutes to be filled with Red and Orange in support and honor! Let’s show up Central Oregon!

This Friday, we’re honored to introduce Ember’s Drink: strawberry + orange Rowdy Soda made with Sprite, created in memory of a sweet little girl who touched so many hearts.

For every Ember Drink sold, $1 will be donated directly to Ember’s family. In an incredible show of support, JJ&B Construction has committed to matching every dollar donated. If any other businesses would like to match the donation as well, please reach out!

Thank you for helping us love on this family, Ember’s life and surround her family with love, support, and prayers❤️

Way to go, Ms. Jasmine!!

MORE THAN BOOKS
Kindness Citation RDMPD-00458

Never underestimate the power of a librarian. They are a trained and powerful search engine with a heart. Jasmine Kleckler, the librarian at Vern Patrick Elementary School in Redmond, is one of those amazing people. She organized multiple classes to come speak with RPD Officers about police and our community. Very kind and caring for her school!

It was Redmond Oregon Police Chief Lewis’ honor to issue Jasmine a well deserved Kindness Citation. Keep impacting your community one kind act at a time!

I just want to take a second to say THANK YOU to this incredible community that has shown up for and surrounded the Cuen family with love and prayers and support during this tragic time. You all have shown up for our school and the Cuens in more ways than we could ever thank you for! The humanity and compassion of Central Oregon is what makes our community strong. We are all truly grateful to live in such an incredible place! ❤️🧡🔥

With the blessing and approval of the Cuen family, schools throughout our community are coming together next Friday to honor Ember and support her family.
We are encouraging students, staff, and families to participate next Friday by wearing red and orange, Ember’s favorite colors, so that her flame can continue to burn brightly throughout our community.
Thank you for helping us surround the Cuen family with love and support during this unimaginable time.
We can’t wait to watch Ember’s flame continue to burn next Friday. 🔥

This is not the fundraiser we normally have planned for this time of year.

It is with a heavy heart that we share news of a tragic loss within our Vern Patrick Elementary community. One of our families is facing every parents worst nightmare, as our own sweet Ember Cuen passed away on May 23, 2026.

Let's come together to show the Cuen family that we are all behind them and with them in their time of need and grief!

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of a tragic loss within our Redmond and … VPE PTC needs your support for Support for the Cuen Family's Loss
