PARKLAND, Fla. – To honor his daughter on what would have been her high school graduation year, Parkland parent Tony Montalto is awarding students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school with scholarships and a grant in her name.

Montalto and his wife, Jennifer, created the Gina Rose Montalto Memorial Foundation to “bring something positive to this community and help to keep Gina’s light shining by helping others achieve their goals,” he wrote.
