The Bob Emig Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, was started in 2004 by Bob’s family. They created the foundation to continue Bob’s work in helping youth develop well-rounded lives by providing them a healthy sports experience. Bob loved sports—as a participant, coach, and sports writer—and felt these experiences were a contributor to the successful family and professional life he built.

“I've worked at the CAC for over five years now and have seen the great love of the East St. Louis community for basketball and football specifically and have always desired to marry my love for soccer with this community and the children I work with at the CAC. The biggest disparity for us is how expensive it is to play such a simple game. With the help of the Bob Emig Foundation we were able to directly pay for a tournament fee as well as equip our players with actual home and away jerseys, shorts, socks, and new soccer balls. As we look forward, we are eager to be a part of indoor leagues, summer camps, tournaments, and to continue to cultivate a deep love for soccer!”
