Help Emily Help Tyler

February 3, 2009

Keller Williams VIP

in Bells Corners hosted a chili cook off

fundraiser to raise the money for Emily and her Mom to fly

to Orlando for another speaking engagement. Someone

donated Emily’s entire flight anonymously and we thank

them and everyone else who helps us immensely.

Thanks to Allan Cayer, a member of the Ottawa South Rotary
Club and Keller Williams VIP Real Estate Agent, Emily found
out she liked telling others about her fundraising efforts and
about Tyler when she had her first opportunity to speak in
public at a luncheon attended by 13 members. The Club
donated $1,000.

Emily's Speaking Engagements & Events

October 31, 2008

When Emily’s grandpa mentioned to the Charity Committee

at Keller Williams VIP that he was going to be very busy

helping with his granddaughter’s Charity Garage Sale the

rest of the committee members were quick to jump on board.

Theresa Quann-Bakker was instrumental in introducing

Emily to the other

Keller Williams offices in Ottawa

who

chose her as their Youth Charity recipient. Emily was asked

to speak at their annual Inspirational Breakfast in October

2008. She took this opportunity to introduce Tyler to the 450

guests in attendance and was presented with a donation of

$5,000 from the

three local Keller Williams’ offices.

February 25, 2009
Emily’s grandpa, Paul Desrochers, a real estate broker with Keller
Williams VIP in Bells Corners, introduced Emily at the Keller
Williams International Family Reunion’s Inspirational
Brunch in Florida celebrating quiet heroes. The close to 7,000
agents in attendance were so moved by her story that Emily
received over $22,000USD in donations.
