The mission of the Foundation is twofold. Firstly, they resolve to raise awareness of all strains of meningococcal disease. They accomplish this through ongoing education and organized vaccination programs. Secondly, they resolve to raise awareness of and encourage organ/tissue donation. In addition, they offer assistance to families who have been affected by either of these two issues. The goal of the Foundation is to create a world where all strains of meningococcal disease are eradicated and there is no longer a “waiting list” for those in need of an organ transplant.
Emily Stillman Foundation
The Emily Stillman Foundation was created in 2014 in memory of Emily Stillman, a nineteen-year-old college sophomore who died from serogroup B meningococcal disease.
