2018 Spotlight Organization:
Ronald McDonald House Charities - Upper Midwest
Ronald McDonald House Charities Upper Midwest is an organization that provides much needed support for families with children that have a serious illness. Having a child with a severe illness is a stressful event for any family. Keeping parents, and siblings, close to the ill child certainly can help in the overall healing process.

Why We're Here...
Thanks to all of our ANGELS, Emily has been able to attend specialized therapy at Euro-Peds for many years and has made great gains. Words cannot express our gratitude for the years of support that have directly benefited Emily.
For a few reasons we are looking to take our tournament in a different direction, most importantly that Emily’s doctors feel her growth is complete, which decreases the chances of further physical issues presenting themselves. In addition, through the many years of high quality care and guidance from her therapists, Emily has a great home therapy program. It is tailored specifically to her, which allows her to continue to maintain her strength and mobility with her staff at home.
It is our desire to help support organizations and charities which have been a part of Emily’s life and care over the years. As of this year we are officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization!
Our SPOTLIGHT ORGANIZATION this year is Ronald McDonald House Charities - Upper Midwest. The Mission of RM House is to provide a comfortable and caring home-away-from-home that supports keeping families together and reduces stress during a child’s serious illness. All their efforts are actually a partnership with the local community which provides needed assistance and resources to enable Ronald McDonald House Charities to help as many families as possible. Emily''s Angels is proud to support this awesome organization.
