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

with this cause.
