Proceeds collected by the MSG Paul Karpowich Foundation will be given in Paul's name to these organizations:

 The Hazleton Animal Shelter

   - Karp never met an animal he didn't like.  His beloved Romel was a stray!

   - Visit the shelter online at http://www.petfinder.org/shelters/PA153.html

  Horses and Horizons Therapeutic Learning Center

   - Not many people witnessed Karp's compassionate side.  This is a program for therapeutic horse riding for individuals with a    variety of physical, mental and emotional disabilities.

   - Get the details at www.horsesandhorizons.org

 Joseph Briseno Jr. & Family

   - Joseph Briseno Jr. was shot in the back of the head at point-blank range in a Baghdad marketplace. His spinal cord was shattered, and cardiac arrests stole his vision and damaged his brain. He is one of the most severely injured soldiers — some think the most injured soldier — to survive.

Friends of Penn State Abington ROTC Scholarship Fund

   - Paul always jumped at the chance to help train ROTC cadets at the various colleges in the Philadelphia area.  Cadets at Penn State Abington experienced his mentorship prior to his deployment to Iraq.

   -  The Friends of Penn State Abington created a scholarship endowment to help these cadets. Quote from the Friends of Penn State Abington "Please bear in mind that our country is very much in need of well-trained military leaders in these critical times and for the foreseeable future. Your contribution is an investment in the training of tomorrow’s leaders and our national security."

 NEPA Chapter of AIA Scholarship Fund

   - Karp studied architecture in college.  Some of his work is actually visible in King of Prussia.  He spent a lot of his extra time    designing the dream home he planned to build with his wife Amanda upon return from the war.

   -  This scholarship fund is available to college bound students who show promise in the architectural field.  for more information    visit http://www2.luzfdn.org/www/index2.html and scroll down to the listing for it (listed alphabetically.)
