Cause of the Monday – Emmet is Love

Our Cause of the Monday, February 16th, is “Emmet is Love”.

“Emmet Is Love”

Emmet Zodrow was a bright, kind-hearted 12-year-old boy whose life was tragically cut short when he was struck by an 85-year-old motorist while riding his bike on the sidewalk to the library.

Emmet was full of curiosity, compassion, and love. He loved books, learning, biking, baseball, and spending time with those he loved. He touched the lives of many in his short time here.

A foundation, Emmet Is Love, was established to honor Emmet’s memory in meaningful ways. Specifically, plans are to use donations to:

*Build a raised pitching mound at Murray Park in Ripon as a lasting tribute to Emmet’s love for baseball.

*Install a garden and reflection area at the Caestecker Library for the community to remember Emmet’s spirit.

*Upgrade local baseball fields to benefit young athletes like Emmet.

*Establish an AYA scholarship in Emmet’s name, a cause dear to his heart.

25% of food sales and cash donations go directly to support Emmet’s memory.

Whether you knew Emmet well or only knew of him, we invite you to celebrate his life, grieve his loss, and support each other in the healing process.

Please join us on February 16th to surround Emmet’s loving family with support and celebrate the beautiful light he brought into the world.
