This event has been amazing to be a part of, and for the community to come together. We wish the I Love U Guys Foundation the best success with their current and future endeavors. They have been instrumental in convincing over 17,000 schools to adopt the Standard Response Protocol, making schools safer for our children and teachers and staff. May this offer them the opportunity to reach even more!
To our volunteers, participants, friends and community we extend a huge thank you for 10 remarkable Parades. Emily’s Parade began as a response to tragedy. But it immediately became a symbol of strength and community.
Organizing the Parade is also a very difficult task for both Ellen and me personally. Last October we asked The “I Love U Guys” Foundation Board of Directors to make a difficult decision. We asked the Board to declare the 10th Annual Emily’s Parade as the last one. It was a tough conversation. A tough decision. But I think the Board made the right decision.
Officially, The 2015 Emily’s Parade and ER5K was the last Parade hosted by The “I Love U Guys” Foundation.
This coming year will be the 10th Anniversary of losing Emily. Ellen and I would like to share the statement we released on the 1st Anniversary.
