Emily Belcher
Program & Event Manager
Emily is the Program and Event Manager for Rally Virginia. She is focused on supporting childhood cancer families and raising money for childhood cancer research in the Northern Virginia/DC area. Emily’s passion for childhood cancer advocacy started when her daughter, Caroline, was diagnosed with a rare type of brain cancer in 2012. Since that time Emily has not only volunteered extensively within the childhood cancer community, but has also spent time advocating for childhood cancer funding on the local level and on Capitol Hill. Emily was first introduced to Rally in 2014 when her best friend from high school organized a Rally event in Caroline’s honor. Since the moment Emily met the Rally team she knew the foundation was special. Emily earned an undergraduate degree from Tulane University and a graduate degree from American University, and has spent the last six years as an event planner in the DC area. She enjoys running and spending time with her three children and absurdly opinionated black lab./p>
