On Saturday, a large crowd turned out at Bowdoin Park in the Town of Poughkeepsie as part of "Team Emma" to raise money for Emma and her family. A $45 admission charge included a barbecue with live music as well as a 5K walk.
A GoFundMe page set up to support the family has already raised around $10,000. You can visit the page by clicking here.
