Karen "Scooter" Gose Memorial Scholarship

We are deeply saddened by the loss of a member of our Girl Scout family, Karen "Scooter" Gose in July.  Karen dedicated herself to helping others and worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) for 7 years before carrying that dedication over to nursing school. Karen graduated from the Mt. SAC Nursing program just a few weeks before she passed away and a week later, she officially received her RN license.  A scholarship has been established in her name to support other EMTs pursuing their dream of becoming nurses.  To donate to the scholarship fund, please visit http://scholarships.givetomtsac.org/.  Select "Karen Gose Memorial Scholarship" from the drop down Scholarship List under the Gift Information section and proceed to fill out the online donation form.  You may also mail a check (with the name of the scholarship in the purpose line) to:

MT. SAC FOUNDATION
1100 N Grand Ave., Bldg.12A
Walnut, CA 91789
