We are honored that our President, Jeni Dixon, was recognized as a Nonprofit Leader at the Nashville Business Journal Women of Influence awards.💜
This award represents more than leadership, it reflects a mission built on love, a community that continues to show up, and the impact we’re able to make together through The ERDie Project. To be included among so many incredible women, especially during the 20th anniversary of this event, makes this recognition even more meaningful.
This work is driven by purpose, inspired by Emma, and made possible by every person who supports and believes in what we do.
Grateful for this honor and all it represents!

Today we honor ERDie’s Squad 💜 On National Volunteer Recognition Day, we’re reminded that behind every event, every moment, and every impact made, there are people who choose to show up with love.

Our volunteers are more than helpers… they are part of our family. Thank you for standing beside us, supporting this mission, and helping us carry Emma’s light forward.

A LOCAL FAMILY’S grief has been transformed into a powerful mission. The Emma Ryleigh Dixon (ERDie) Project, founded in memory of 14‑year‑old Emma Ryleigh Dixon, is bringing attention both locally…

Four years ago, we lost Emma to osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. But her light, her joy, and her spirit are still so present in everything we do.
Emma loved big, smiled often, and brought so much happiness to the people around her, and that’s exactly how we choose to remember her.
Because of her, The ERDie Project was created. A mission rooted in love, awareness, and hope for others facing childhood bone cancer.

We do this for you, Emma. Always.

Emma was 14 when Osteosarcoma took her from us. But through your support, her legacy lives on - funding research, helping families, and searching for a cure. Today we remember. Every day we fight back.
