Dear friend,

I’m Tony Montalto, father of Gina Montalto and president of Stand With Parkland - The National Association of Families for Safe Schools.

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank you for standing with us this year. Your support has been the driving force behind our progress in 2024, and it means the world to all the families that founded Stand with Parkland and me, personally, to see people like you sharing our unwavering commitment to making schools safer.

But recent events, like the tragic school shooting in Wisconsin earlier last week, remind us all too painfully that our work is far from over. This heartbreaking tragedy only reinforces how urgent it is for us to meet our goals and continue building on all we’ve accomplished to create safer schools for every student.

To close out this year strong, we’re making one final push for donations to ensure a solid start to 2025. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by December 31st, and we’re just $9,482 away. Will you consider sending a gift of any amount today to improve school safety and help us continue this vital work?

Since my beloved daughter Gina was one of the 17 lives tragically taken in the 2018 Parkland, FL school shooting, advocating for safe schools and an end to mass shootings has been my life’s mission.

This year, Stand With Parkland has achieved remarkable milestones:

We’ve expanded federal investments in school security and mental health resources.

We’ve worked with bipartisan leaders to advance responsible firearm regulations.

We’ve provided education and resources to empower families, schools, and communities to prioritize safety.

But our work is far from over. Every day, students, teachers, and parents still face the fear of targeted violence in schools. We won’t stop until that fear is eliminated.

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m asking for your help once more. Every dollar you donate strengthens our ability to advocate, educate, and drive real change for safer schools in 2025.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can honor the memories of those we’ve lost and ensure a brighter, safer future for all of America’s students and educators.

Happy holidays, and thanks again for your support.

Tony Montalto President, Stand with Parkland – The National Association of Families for Safe Schools.
