Our flagship program, Ride with Emilio, is nationally recognized by the US Surgeons General as a model program. Ride with Emilio is a FREE transportation service for sick children to access chemotherapy and other important medical appointments. Families using public transportation were taking up to 7 hours to reach the hospital while exposing their immune-compromised children to an unsafe atmosphe

For “Anabelle,” the perfect plate of pasta means a little more. 🍝

Having recently reached remission after facing childhood cancer, Anabelle stepped into the kitchen at Monello for a very special experience with Chef Fabrizio, learning alongside a remarkable chef, making her own pasta, and getting a taste of one of her biggest dreams: becoming a chef herself one day. 👩🏻‍🍳

And judging by that smile, she was right where she belonged. 💛

Anabelle loves Italian food. She loves to cook. She has dreams for her future. And like every child facing cancer, she deserves the opportunity to keep dreaming, growing, laughing, creating, and simply being a kid.

This September, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we honor children like Anabelle and the families walking beside them through some of life’s most difficult moments.

At the Emilio Nares Foundation, we believe no family should have to navigate childhood cancer alone. Every ride to treatment, every meal, every moment of care and connection is made possible by a community that chooses to show up.

On September 17, we invite you to be part of that community at our 23rd Annual Harvest for Hope.

Together, we can help ensure that families can focus on what matters most: their child, their healing, and all the dreams still ahead. 💛

As a proud partner of San Diego Gas & Electric we’re sharing simple ways to stay comfortable and keep your energy bill on track. 💛

❄️ Stay breezy: Use ceiling (counterclockwise in the summer) and tabletop fans to stay cool, and turn them off when you leave the room.

📈 Track your energy use: Use My Energy Charts to spot usage patterns and opportunities to save.

⏰ Use lowest-cost hours: Run large appliances, charge EVs or cool your home during super off-peak hours when energy costs less. Weekdays: 12–6 AM & 10 AM–2 PM (NEW!). Weekends: 12 AM–2 PM

🔌 Unplug & save: Unplug devices when not in use to help reduce unnecessary energy use.

📈 Dé seguimiento a tu consumo de energía: Vea cuándo y cómo estás usando energía con Mis Gráficas de Energía (My Energy Charts).

We came to defend. We left with so much more. 🍨🧡

Last year we took home the title and this year we showed up ready to do it again. But sometimes the best part of a competition is not the trophy, it is the community that surrounds you when you are in it. 💛

Thank you to Seven Mile Casino for creating such an incredible space where organizations like ours get to showcase not just the work we do, but the heart and hidden talents behind the people who do it. A room full of passion, laughter, and community all coming together for a cause is exactly our kind of event. 🌟

A special thank you to our partners at KSDY 50 for their continued support. Having you in our corner means so much to us and to the families we serve. 💛

We are beyond proud to pass the crown this year to the Southwestern College Foundation and their incredible “Camila’s Sundae.” You earned it and we could not think of a more deserving winner. Congratulations! 🏆🍦

And if you have not already, head over to Sammy’s Pizza and order the Camila’s Sundae. Trust us, you will not regret it. 😍🍨

Until next year. 👀🧡

We had such a wonderful time at Hooper, Lundy & Bookman for an Emilio’s Snack Bag packing day! Their incredible team came together to pack bags that will go directly to children receiving treatment for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, bringing a little comfort and a whole lot of love on some of their hardest days. 💛

It was also a joy to share more about ENF and the work we do every day for the families we serve. The enthusiasm and genuine care this team brought to every single bag reminded us that kindness truly has no limits.

Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, thank you for hosting us, for giving your time, your hands, and your hearts. We are so grateful for your support and for choosing to spend your day making a difference for our families. 🌟🧡
