The Emily Fund and the Do One Thing Campaign: Shortly after 19-year
old Gettysburg college sophomore, Emily Rachel Silverstein, was violently murdered
on April 9, 2009, her family set up The Emily Fund to continue her legacy of hope
in action for a better world. The fund provides scholarships, programs and resources
to inspire young people to make a difference in their communities. Emily's
compassion, passion and creativity touched many lives. She was an active leader
promoting numerous social causes, including peace and conflict resolution, environmental
sustainability, animal and human rights, and ending hunger and homelessness. Emily
shared deep friendships and accomplished countless amazing things. But there was
so much more that she wanted to do to make this world a better place; so many
more lives that she would have touched, inspired and empowered to join in the
struggle for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world. The Emily Fund's "Do
One Thing" campaign is based on Emily's strong conviction that every act
of compassion makes a difference. Alone we may not be able to change the world,
but together we make a world of difference. WIN
