Mallory's Army Honored By State Senate

ROCKAWAY, NJ — Mallory's Army, an anti-bullying foundation in remembrance of Mallory Grossman, was honored by the New Jersey State Assembly with a ceremonial resolution on Monday.

The foundation, established by the Grossman family, has worked to advocate for bullying prevention through their "Blue Out Bullying" program and a kindness week.

“Our family is deeply honored for the recognition of all the hard work we have been doing, and for bringing attention to Mallory’s Army. We appreciate the great State of New Jersey standing behind us,” the Grossman family said in a statement. “Our 501(c)(3) charitable foundation is a children’s foundation, dedicated to behavior change. We look forward to the great changes we will be making."

Mallory Grossman was 12 years old when she took her life in June following what her mother has called horrific bullying. Her family is currently suing the Rockaway Township School District for allegedly failing to address the bullying, a claim the district denies.
