We hear about tragedies and talk about how unfortunate they are. When the tragedies come closer to home, our ears ring a little louder. The Highland Park 4th of July parade shooting is in our back yard. A Colley employee was in the parade with his wife and kids. I was at someone’s house who went to school with one of the victims and was going to their funeral this weekend. It is real. Most of us will think about this for a short bit then move on. Some people will forever be changed from going to a 4th of July parade.
Colley challenged our employees to donate money to a victim(s) and the management team would match the donations. We had great participation and collectively have donated $2,000.00. Additionally, we will be channeling our Colley Cares 3rd quarter donation to the Victims First fund.
We can’t bring anyone back or repair the damage this reckless act caused mentally and physically, but we hope the few dollars everyone can donate will add up and make lives easier moving forward from this horrible event. If you are able, give a few dollars to a great cause.
