The Emme Foundation was established in loving memory of Emerson Rose “Emme” Strieker, whose life left a lasting imprint on everyone she encountered. Emme lived with a rare and effortless kindness. She led with love in its simplest and most powerful forms: a genuine smile, a spontaneous hug, a kind word to someone who needed it, or the joy of her infectious laughter. She had an instinct for lifting others up, and through these everyday acts of compassion, she made the world around her brighter.

 

Her life is remembered and celebrated through the tagline: #belikeEmme: a call to action to leave this world better than we found it. This principle serves as the foundation of our mission and the inspiration behind everything we do.
