History

Uproar was founded by Mona Casey, a resident of Naples, Florida after losing her son, Charles Ian Gray to refrigerant inhalation.  Prior to losing Charles, Ms. Casey and her family knew nothing about huffing refrigerant.  She along with her spouse often spoke to Charles about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, but never considered the dangers lurking within an AC unit.  Rather than being defeated by this tragedy, Ms. Casey was impelled to do something about it.  “Children continue to do this dangerous activity, even after attending my son’s memorial service.  Something has to be done!”, said Ms. Casey.  Since then she has embarked on a mission to bring the issue to the attention of the public, the industry, and the government.  She has spoken at national conferences, is the proponent of numerous code proposals to lock up refrigerant, two of which have passed, she has made numerous media appearances, and has spoken to different groups via her membership in various anti-drug organizations.  But her work is not done yet.  She continues to fight and vouches to do so, until concrete solutions to address the issue of open access to refrigerant by unauthorized individuals is deeply embedded in the system.  Please visit Support Uproar to find out how you can help with this cause.
