The Daelight Foundation and Boys of Sustainable Strength Mentoring are positively changing and influencing children and teenagers throughout the city, thanks to Camden Education Fund Youth-Serving Organization grants.
For example, some of the $40,000 grant the Daelight Foundation received went into the foundation’s scholarship fund, according to Tracey Hall, the foundation’s founder and executive director.
The rest of the grant helped purchase supplies and to train volunteers to enable more high school students to take a six-session National Council for Mental Wellbeing course titled "Mental Health First Aid,” according to Hall.
The New Jersey Historic Trust, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA), today approved a total of $16,598,738 in grant recommendations from the Preserve New Jersey Historic Preservation Fund to save and promote historic sites throughout the state. Seventy-five preservation planning, municipal, county, and regional planning, heritage tourism, and capital projects are included in this year’s list of recommendations.
“Historic preservation is an integral part of community and economic revitalization and I am excited to see a diverse list of grant recipients this year,” said DCA Commissioner Jacquelyn A. Suárez. “From historic homes, farms, schoolhouses, and churches to train stations, lighthouses, and villages, the work that will be accomplished with the preservation grants will help to secure the future of our most treasured historic places in the Garden State.”
The Philadelphia 76ers, looking to make an even greater impact in the community in which they train, are making a donation of $120,000 to the Camden County Police Department, the largest private donation ever.
The donation, made through the Sixers Youth Foundation, will fund youth fitness initiatives throughout Camden city, as it will be used to enhance and expand several programs in the Camden County Police Department’s Village Initiative, including the open gym and resource nights, Camden officials said.
Camden County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli was floored by the gesture — but noted it follows the effort the team has been making for some time.
“From the start, this agency has been focused on community engagement and facilitating a lifelong dialogue in order to become part of the fabric of the city,” he said. “This investment by the Sixers underscores the importance of the work we do with our residents on daily basis with a focus on our youth in Camden.
“I want to thank them for walking the walk and being an important part of our village here in Camden County.”
