Emily Shane Foundation

The Emily Shane Foundation was founded in loving memory of Emily Rose Shane, who was tragically murdered on April 3, 2010 at the age of 13. She was kind to all, compassionate, empathic and eager to help anyone in need. She was a happy person who almost always had a smile on her face. Our Foundation focuses on spreading her message of kindness and giving through our #PassitForward campaign, as well as our unique educational initiative the SEA (Successful Educational Achievement) Program. Emily always tried to help any person or living creature in need. She always had an encouraging word, a hug, an invitation to join her if you were alone. She brought smiles and happiness with her contagious laughter. Our hope is that her values and persona will forever be remembered through the philanthropic endeavors and acts of helping others that the Foundation pursues.
