Our first annual Monkapalooza was an unforgettable day! On October 27, 2024, we gathered at the beautiful Bowen’s Island for an afternoon filled with everything Insley loved—music, oysters, family, and friends. The energy, the love, and the support from everyone who attended made it truly special.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, The Monka Foundation was able to donate $15,000 to the Inspire Fund at MUSC to support pediatric brain cancer research. This gift is a testament to the power of community and the impact we can make together.
A huge thank you to the amazing people and businesses who helped bring Monkapalooza to life:
🎶 Gritty Flyright, The Chewbacky Band, and Danny May for the music
🔊 Paul Joliet for keeping the sound on point
📸 Captured by Kate for beautifully documenting the day
🧁 The Cake Stand for the delicious cupcakes
🍽️ Forage Events for the incredible food
🦪 Bowen’s Island for the oysters and the best venue in Charleston
We are beyond grateful and can’t wait to make Monkapalooza a beloved yearly tradition. Stay tuned for details on next year’s event by following us on Instagram and checking back on our website. We can’t wait to see you again!
