No one can take that away from us. Phil understood that many children In Ramsey County, where J.J. Hill is located, live well below the poverty line and cannot always afford to pay for their lunch," Ms. Castile stated.

Philando Castile's mother, Ms. Valerie Castile, CEO/President of the Philando Castile Relief Foundation and OMG Media Solutions' founder, Monique Linder are teaming up to support the Philando Castile Peace Garden Committee by spreading love in communities to support their fundraisers, in the spirit of Philando Castile.
