The word has spread!
The approach Robby takes regarding his work is very matter of fact. He recounts numerous celebrities and charitable organizations he has contacted asking them to help out. He and Emma were thrilled when the Red Wings agreed to donate winter hats and t-shirts to the cause. The Detroit Tigers also got in on the action. “Miguel Cabrera gave us 30 Triple Crown Tshirts to pass our to our Friends. He also gave me a signed baseball, but it isn’t about what we get out of it, it is about spreading the word.” Robby was really excited about the Red Wings and Tigers helping out. However, he shared, “Even when I don’t get a response it is ok. We just do what we can.”
That’s why Robby and Emma Eimers and Kostukoff will be among those honored at the 16th annual Champions Banquet put on by the Optimist Club of St. Clair Shores.

Calls of support and offers of donations to the 12-year-old are pouring in from across the country, from Illinois to Colorado, and locally, from Armada to Yale. And there’s talk of turning his work into a nonprofit organization named after him to further his mission.
