The Bob Emig Foundation was started in 2004 by founder Aaron Emig, Bob’s oldest son, to continue his father’s work in helping youth develop well-rounded lives by providing them a healthy sports experience. Since inception, we have supported 80 non-profit organizations.

Vision: Inspiring Youth Athletes. Transforming Lives.

Mission: Promoting the well-being of youth through sports and education 

We strive to achieve our Vision and Mission by focusing on three areas:

1. We provide opportunities for youth, especially “at-need” youth who would not have the opportunity without the help of the Foundation, to experience the benefits of healthy youth sports activities.

2. We support activities that educate youth athletes in the areas of health and life skills development.

3. We recognize athletes, coaches, educators, volunteers and officials who “go beyond the game” to provide youth with a learning life experience.
