This donation was made from the Pamela Goldwasser Memorial Scholarship
Fund and is designated to support a student in the Summer Jazz Program
at Idyllwild Arts. Goldwasser was an advocate for jazz music, the Summer
Programs and Jazz in the Pines. The Associates continue to honor her
influence with this annual gift.
“It is a privilege and honor to recognize the commitment to the arts
held by my late friend and former colleague Pamela Goldwasser. To watch
these young high school musicians building their dreams of becoming an
accomplished jazz musician is most rewarding and an excellent way to
honor Pam,” said Michael Slocum, president of the Associates.
The Associates, founded in 1968, is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization with the purpose of supporting education in the arts,
particularly Idyllwild Arts. The Associates have donated over $60,000 to
Idyllwild Scholarship Fund this fiscal year; a total of over $2.5
million over the last 56 years. Learn more about the Associates at
