IN MEMORY OF ROCKY CAMPANA

Rocky was a shining star, an achiever and proud to be gay. He had everything in life to live for, including a high profile new job and a family he adored and who supported him endlessly with great pride. It is now apparent that Rocky suffered from depression. We understand that if this scenario is possible in our family it is a risk for any family with an LGBTQ youth. Rocky made a difference in life and as a family we are determined his message continues to be delivered and makes a difference in others’ lives. -Nancy Campana.

Run for Rocky in Windsor helps fund educational programs and speakers in partnership with Gay Straight Alliances in the local school systems. This program is the first of its kind in Canada and is now being looked at as a pilot project that will be taken across Canada to help fund GSAs in all high schools nationally. Run for Rocky also funds the Rocky Campana Annual GSA Leadership Memorial Scholarships and Windsor Pride Community’s Schools Out summer program.
