HAPPY HOLIDAYS and almost NEW YEAR!

On behalf of the EMG Fund we are beyond grateful for all your donations to our organization over the years! The continued support of our donors is very much appreciated and helps the EMG foundation, a 501C3, in carrying out its primary mission of helping children in need.

Due to your support, we were able to generously donate $28,500 to several different agencies, both local and international, who have provided food, books, shelter, etc. to children around the world. These deserving agencies are Appetite for Change, the Boys and Girls Club of the Twin Cities, Friends of the Orphans in Honduras and El Salvador, De La Salle North School in Portland and Ruppununi Learners of Guyana. Without all of you we would not be able to help change the lives of so many. So, we thank you very much for your contribution. For any of you who wish to donate to the fund, please send checks to the below address.

We hope you have an amazing Holiday season and a wonderful new year!

On behalf of the EMG Fund we are very grateful for everyone’s donation to the Fund this year. The continued
support of our donors is very much appreciated and helps the EMG Foundation, a 501C3, in carrying out its primary mission of helping children in need.
Due to your support we were able to increase our contributions and give to a number of organizations that have provided food to school children and families whose needs have increased due to COVID 19 and the civil unrest in our community: these are the Sheridan Project, Appetite for Change, Second Harvest Heartland, and the Boys and Girls Club of the Twin Cities.
In addition, we continue to give to Friends of the Orphans, The Scheid Foundation and our newest Ruppuni Learners of Guyana.

Thank you very much for your contribution,

Friends and Family,

Thank you for your dedication to the EMG Golf Tournament for the last 17 years! It is because of you that we have been lucky enough to keep Evan’s memory alive by helping improve the lives of children throughout Latin America and the US. Thus, it is with sadness that we will have to cancel this year’s 18th EMG Tournament. We recognize that these are trying times and therefore, in the name of health and safety, for you and your families, we have unanimously decided to postpone the event until next year.

That being said, while we will not host an in person event our goal is still to help children in need, and this year we have decided to focus our aid on the Minneapolis area. In order to be as impactful as we have been in the past we are asking for your help.

In lieu of a registration for golf or dinner, we ask that you consider donating to the EMG Fund via our website emggolf.org. Your donations will help support two local charities. The first is Appetite for Change MN which strives for food justice, racial and economic equity through organizing efforts and food-based policy, systems and environmental change. The second is The Sheridan Story which fights child hunger through community and school partnerships. You can learn more about each organization by following the links at the bottom of this letter.

Without you, none of what we have been able to accomplish would have been possible. While we are saddened that we will not be able to gather later this month, we look forward to seeing you all next year when we can safely be together again.

Thank you
Alexis Guillaume and the EMG Fund Board
