October 8 marked the début of the Amputee Coalition of America’s (ACA’s) Pebble Party program in support of its amputee youth camp. The inaugural Pebble Party, hosted by Marshall Cohen at the Harvard Club in New York City, not only raised more than $40,000 for this worthy program, but provided the platform for the announcement that the youth camp has been renamed in honor of Patricia “Paddy” Rossbach, the former ACA president & CEO.
