“To go undefeated in this fight, (anti-bullying) campaigns need to be unique, diverse, universal and must be appealing to all students. As a society we need to rally together, set positive examples and unite against negative actions and behaviors.” ~ states Rocky Marciano Jr.,
“Having the opportunity to partner with the iconic Hard Rock Cafe will allow the campaign to reach countless students and families. The event will be the forum to launch new scholarship programs, an anonymous text reporting program and a student resource fund.”
