Warriors for Emily is a group started to benefit Emily and her family. All of the event proceeds will be used to help cover Emily's medical costs, including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

Admission is $5, free for ages 15 and younger, and includes a meal and a raffle ticket. Activities at the fundraiser also include an auction, bouncy house, food and games.
