Em’s Fight foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization, was formed by the Pohlschneider Family in Emily Pohlschneider-Edwards memory in 2012 after Emily’s passing in October of 2011. Since the foundation was formed, it has helped more 23 families with their cancer fight in the local community. More than $60,000 has been given to those families to help pay for treatment, transportation to treatment, searching for different doctors or healing approaches, new clothing, rent, bills, or a last trip to form some amazing memories with their family.
