Tilly Harder Memorial — Tilly's Coffee Shoppe

The Tilly Harder Memorial was created to honor the beautiful life and lasting legacy of Tilly Elaine James Harder.

After the unimaginable loss of our sweet girl, we made a promise that her life would continue to make a difference. What began in heartbreak has grown into a mission of hope, kindness, and community. Through the Tilly Harder Memorial, we strive to spread the same joy, love, and light that Tilly brought into every room she entered.

Our mission is to give back to the communities that have given so much to us by supporting local youth, families, and organizations through scholarships, charitable giving, community events, and acts of kindness. Every fundraiser, donation, and event is rooted in one purpose: keeping Tilly’s spirit alive by making a positive impact on the lives of others.

Some of the ways the Tilly Harder Memorial gives back include:

Awarding the Tilly Harder Memorial Scholarship for $1,000 to graduating seniors.
Supporting local youth sports and community organizations.
Hosting the Tilly’s Legacy of Love Christmas Drive for local families in need.
Hosting the annual Tilly Harder Memorial Softball Tournament to raise funds for the youth and high school softball and baseball programs.
Partnering with local businesses and nonprofits to raise funds for meaningful causes.
Creating opportunities for families to gather, celebrate, and remember.

We believe that love never ends. While Tilly’s time on earth was far too short, her impact continues to grow through every smile shared, every child supported, every family encouraged, and every act of kindness inspired in her name.

Thank you for being part of Tilly’s story. Whether you’ve attended an event, donated, volunteered, or simply shared her story, you are helping ensure that her legacy continues to shine.

Together, we are turning grief into purpose, love into action, and Tilly’s memory into something that will bless generations to come.
