Pasco Association for Challenged Kids (PACK) as June’s Charity-of-the-Month
For the past 28 years the Pasco Association for Challenged Kids (PACK) has served children with a wide range of physical and developmental disabilities. PACK was founded by the parents of a child with autism. They were concerned that the services provided by the public school system ended weeks before the summer programs geared towards kids with challenges started. Thus, the idea of the PACK Summer Camp was born.
“Our goal is to provide children with extreme disabilities in Paso County the opportunity to enjoy a safe and happy summer camp,” remarks Barry & Paula Cohen, Founders of PACK. “By providing highly trained and compassionate staff as well as a large facility, children can enjoy their time with us and flourish over the summer.”
“It is an honor to be affiliated with PACK for close to three decades,” comments Tax Collector Mike Fasano. “The families that started and have continued the operation of PACK for nearly 30 years have changed the lives of young people with a variety of disabilities. I encourage everyone who cares about young people with challenges to donate at any of our five offices, through the mail or online. Every dollar raised will help provide more services to more campers.”
During the weeks the children are not in school, special education teachers and classroom aides work for PACK to plan activities, arrange community visits and carry out a host of other activities for the summer campers. Your donation of any amount will help offset the cost of providing these important services to children in need, most who are unable to attend “mainstream” summer camps.
