Honoring Monica Joy
from member Sheryl Anderson
On September 14, Monica Joy Holley would have celebrated her 16th birthday. Those who knew Monica know she would have wanted a BIG celebration.
On the second anniversary of her death from gun violence, we want to celebrate Monica’s life and the beautiful memories she left us with by giving back in her honor.
This year, because Monica’s life was tragically taken by gun violence, and in light of the continued violence across Minnesota and the country, we are inviting you to make a donation in her memory to a local organization working to end gun violence in our communities:
