According to the “I Love U Guys” Foundation, the 2015 Emily’s Parade was the last one hosted by the nonprofit organization.
During the last 9 years, 10 parades in all, motorcycles have assembled at Columbine High School in Littleton to make a ride to Platte Canyon High School in honor of Emily Keyes, who was shot and killed in the school Sept. 27, 2006.
In a press release, Emily’s father, John-Michael Keyes, stated, “Organizing the parade is also a very difficult task for both Ellen [Stoddard-Keyes] 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.”
