As the Emily K Center’s Center-Level sponsor, Nuna Baby provides multi-year support for our programs and general operating expenses. Rooted in shared values of equity and community, this partnership reflects a powerful commitment to investing in families at every stage of life.

Although Nuna is a global brand, partnering with the Emily K Center has allowed them to connect with the Durham community in a personal way.

A Mission Rooted in Community

Nuna’s core mission is to thoughtfully design products for families with safety, innovation, and care at the heart of everything they do. That same commitment extends beyond their products and into the communities they serve. Nuna believes that showing up in meaningful ways at every stage of life helps create thriving futures for families and children, a philosophy that aligns with the Emily K Center’s work.

Moved by Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s dedication to honoring his mother’s legacy and his deep commitment to impacting young people, Nuna was inspired to become the Emily K Center’s Center-Level sponsor in 2023. To Nuna, strong nonprofit–corporate partnerships are built on shared values, trust, active engagement, and mutual learning.

“It’s all about listening, showing up consistently, and working together toward impact that truly changes lives.” – Nuna

Looking Ahead to the Future

As the Emily K Center celebrates 20 years of impact, Nuna is excited about continuing to grow together and expanding access to even more students.

In Nuna’s words, the Emily K Center is “a place where lifelong values form, supported by people who want the best for the future of our youth.” We are grateful for Nuna’s partnership and shared commitment to creating brighter futures for students and families in Durham.
