A Night of Light: Celebrating the Life of Emily Anne Short, Benefitting Shriners Hospitals for Children: Erie
Sunday, September 6, 2026 (5:00 PM - 11:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Emily was lost to Fentanyl poisoning September 7, 2018. To celebrate her life and honor those we've lost to addiction, this event will have a list of names read to remember the lost, and to honor those who recovered, we are having Upstate Vegas Events and their gaming tables. It is a night for love, light, laughter and stories. A time to say their names and reflect, and a time to honor those who have stood on their mess and not in it. ALL Proceeds raised will go to the Shriners Children's Hospital in Erie, PA; where Emily received treatment when she was young. Shriners Hospitals provide orthopedic treatment to children regardless of the family's ability to pay. Shriners Children's is a 501(c)3 and all donations are tax deductible.
