As we close the chapter on 2025, we’re filled with one overwhelming feeling: gratitude.
Because of you—our donors, families, partners, and champions – we experienced our best day of giving yet. Together, we raised $82,000, exceeding our goal by 61%. Even more meaningful, 111 unique donors chose to invest in our mission this year – more than double the number of donors from the year before. That kind of growth doesn’t just happen. It happens when a community believes deeply in what’s possible.
At EMA, we believe every child deserves a chance to belong, grow, and lead. Your generosity turns that belief into real, lived experiences for children and families every single day.
This impact matters profoundly because over half of our families rely on tuition assistance to make an EMA possible. For them, your support isn’t abstract—it’s access. It’s opportunity. It’s the difference between wondering if and knowing yes.
Because of you:
- Children are learning in an environment where they are known and valued
- Families are supported, not stretched beyond their limits
- Our community is stronger, more inclusive, and more hopeful
We don’t take this trust lightly. Every gift, whether first-time or recurring, large or small, signals belief in our students and in a future where education opens doors instead of closing them.
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for believing. And thank you for helping us make EMA a place where children don’t just participate, but truly belong.
With deep appreciation,
The EMA Team 💛
