Nothing like a lunch visit that puts everything into perspective. 💙 Emily came in with her parents today, and we couldn’t resist recreating this photo from 2024.
All month long, we’ve been raising money in Emily’s honor for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with our fundraiser cocktail—and yes, we made a non-alcoholic version so Emily could join in too.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported this fundraiser and helped make it matter. And thank you, Emily, for being our little superhero. 💪💙
