The Northern New Jersey Community Foundation’s The DeAnna Stark Pasciuto Memorial Fund awarded a grant of $3,000 to Atlantic Visiting Nurse of Morristown, New Jersey. The grant provides support for bereaved youngsters to attend Camp Clover.
Youngsters Supported
The Fund remembers DeAnna Stark Pasciuto and contributes to qualified charitable organizations for cancer research, families touched by cancer, and scholarships for female student-athletes looking to pursue medical careers. “I chose this organization because it serves children, like my own, whom have lost a parent. The camp offers them the opportunity to meet and connect with children in similar circumstances, while also bringing grieving families together. I felt the camp represents everything the Fund stands for and directly connects with both our mission and my late wife’s giving and caring nature,” said Michael Pasciuto, husband of the late DeAnna Stark Pasciuto and the Fund’s advisor.
The Northern NJ Community Foundation’s DeAnna Stark Pasciuto Memorial Fund remembers its namesake and awards grants for several purposes, including to help youngsters experiencing grief from the loss of a family member to cancer.
