Get to know team emery

Team Emery was established in 2011, when fifth grader Emery Miller, recognized the distress of being in the hospital amidst the joy of the holiday season.

Emery Miller responded by collecting bears to disburden the patients and their families. Eleven years later Team Emery has impacted over 69,000 families and 16,000 foster children as efforts expand to fourteen states and various community outreach projects and scholarships. 

What started as a ten-year-old hoping to bring a smile to a families face turned into a nationwide impact.

Purpose

This years Team Emery Classic will support The Gabi Mclenna

Gabi McLenna exemplifies the attributes Team Emery strives to represent.

Prior to March of 2022, Gabi McLenna was living life as a typical 17 year old, going to school, hanging out with friends, swim team, involved with church, and LOTS of Dutch bros teas.

Early in 2022, Gabi began to experience severe headaches. After 3-4 weeks of these headaches, Gabi was diagnosed was brain cancer. But if it wasn’t for her buzzed head, no one would have a clue.

From the second Gabi, a current senior at Gilbert High School in Gilbert, Arizona, found out her diagnosis, she immediately set out to beat it. “Just because I have this diagnosis doesn’t mean I’m a different person,” Gabi told Team Emery.

Since her fight began earlier this year, Gabi has undergone 33 Proton Beam Radiation treatments at Mayo Clinic, in addition to 41 days of oral chemotherapy. Through it all, the McLenna family has faced this storm head on with God leading the way.
