Mourning The Loss Of Ann-Eve Pedersen

June 11, 2021

 

An incredible supporter of Camp Cooper and the Cooper Center, Pedersen attended Camp Cooper as a child, again later with her son, and then supported Camp Cooper financially in her capacity as  Executive Director of the Southwestern Foundation for Education and Historical Preservation. Ann-Eve Pedersen passed away unexpectedly at the age of 55.

"Ann-Eve came to help Camp Cooper at our most desperate hour, during the time when we had to transition to receiving the bulk of our funding for programs and staff from the community. More than that, she helped me to make key connections with others who support us and provided valuable advice that has helped me grow as a fundraiser on behalf of Camp Cooper. We are heartbroken by her loss." - Colin Waite, director of The Cooper Center
