In Memory of Jenneca Simkonis

06/02/2026

This year, the Jenneca Simkonis Memorial Foundation is participating in NEPA Gives.

NEPA Gives helps us boost our fundraising efforts so we can continue creating opportunities for young women throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. Through your support, we’ve been able to help girls build confidence, develop life skills, and pursue interests they may not otherwise have the chance to explore.

This year alone, we’ve helped send one local girl to a Saquon Barkley youth football camp and five girls to STEM camp at Penn State. Those experiences matter, and with your help, we can continue providing opportunities like these to even more young women in our community.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation between now and June 5 at 7:00 p.m., with the official giving event taking place from June 4 at 7:00 p.m. through June 5 at 7:00 p.m.

If making a donation isn’t possible right now, sharing our link is a huge help and greatly appreciated.

As always, thank you for helping us keep Jenneca’s legacy alive and for supporting the work we do in her name. Every opportunity we provide is possible because of people like you.

We could not do what we do without Andy. He’s the rememberer of the details, the one who makes us laugh, and the guy we can always count on to do what needs to be done.

Happy birthday, Andrew Simkonis!! 🥳🥳

Contest ended! Congratulations, Stacey!

‼️IT’S A GIVEAWAY!‼️

Our sweet friend Nancy is under the weather and can’t use her ticket for Sunday’s Jenneca Simkonis Memorial Mother's Day Drag Bingo. 😭 BUT she asked us to give away her ticket to one lucky winner! So in honor of Nancy who we love and hope is better really soon, share in the comments the best piece of advice your mom ever gave you. We’ll put all the names in a wheel and spin a winner tomorrow!

PS In case your mom never told you, don’t fall for scammers!

Please tell Saquon that “talking crap and competing” is something we also enjoy 🫶

📌 Pinned Post — Community Standard Notice

This page exists for several reasons. One of them — and a non-negotiable one — is that we believe survivors.

Recently, someone came onto this page and attempted to publicly speculate about, shame, or discredit a victim. We are leaving that interaction visible intentionally. That behavior crossed a line, and it will not be allowed on this page again.

For clarity: false reports of domestic violence are statistically rare. Research consistently places them in the low single digits (commonly cited between 2–8%). Public speculation and rumor-spreading cause real harm and actively discourage survivors from coming forward.

We also do not fund or promote causes casually.
Fundraisers and partners are vetted prior to amplification. Rumor and speculation do not override due diligence.

This page is actively moderated. Survivor-shaming, harassment, and conjecture will be addressed and shut down. This is not a debate space, and we will not argue these standards.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, help is available:
📞 National Domestic Violence Hotline (US): 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
💬 TTY: 1-800-787-3224

Let this be clear: what happened here will not happen again on this page.

Be part of the solution. Not part of the problem.
We believe survivors.
