Emily's Foundation Mission

The Fletcher Foundation celebrates the memory and spirit of Emily Fletcher, an avid runner and talented track athlete whose life was tragically taken in a car accident when she was 21. The Emily Fletcher Memorial 5K, Emily’s Run, was established to both celebrate her life and raise funds for two college scholarships in her name as well as donations to the Auburn Public Library, the Auburn Nordic Ski Association, The Androscoggin Land Trust, The Stanton Bird Club, Tree Street Youth, New Beginnings, and a donation to ELHS families in need at Christmas.
