“The Girl Scouts are deeply grateful for the unwavering dedication of the healthcare workers at Cooper and MD Anderson at Cooper,” said Hill. “Their commitment to their patients and the community is truly inspiring, and we hope this small token of our appreciation brings a smile to their faces.”

The partnership between GSCSNJ and MD Anderson at Cooper extends beyond this donation. Earlier this year, MD Anderson at Cooper played a significant role in the GSCSNJ’s STEMinist program, providing education on STEM careers and opportunities in healthcare to Girl Scouts in Camden City.

“The support from MD Anderson at Cooper has been instrumental in empowering our Girl Scouts,” continued Hill. “Their involvement in the STEMinist program has provided invaluable experiences that will inspire these young women for years to come.”

Girl Scouts from Camden Troop 30077, including Aubry Freeman, Christina Rosendary, Angel Rosendary, and J’Nya Pennington, joined Ginny Hill in the presentation, underscoring the two organizations' community spirit and collaborative efforts.

“This gesture highlights the strong ongoing partnership between the Girl Scouts and MD Anderson at Cooper,” said Lisa Morina, Senior Vice President & Chief Philanthropy Officer at The Cooper Foundation. “Our organizations share a passion for community engagement and advancing healthcare careers for young women.”
