In addition to donations of items for the bags, she received close to $4,000 in monetary contributions. Pash used half of the donated money to purchase items necessary for the bags, but in the end, had $2,000 left over. With the extra money, she created a scholarship fund, and invited the exceptional young teen counselors at Carl’s Camp to compete for scholarships. “This is the first year that Oasis will be employing local Paterson teens as camp counselors and I am hoping that the scholarship awards will provide incentive for the counselors to do their very best this summer,” Pash said. “Thank you so much for helping me to make the summer a memorable one for both the campers and the counselors,” she added.
