Individuals and families, private foundations, small businesses, and large corporations have shown incredible support for the July 4th shooting victims and our community.

So many have rallied to donate to and, in many cases, fundraise for the July 4th Highland Park Shooting Response Fund the HPCF established. The majority of the initial donors have been local. Yet, many live in states across the nation and far-reaching places such as Singapore, London, and India. Following an unimaginably tragic and horrific event, our community is being lifted up by the strength of our neighbors and an outpouring of support from people far and wide.
