The legal profession is about helping people. The Camden County Bar
Foundation was created in 1986 to meet that aspiration. In a relatively
short time, the Bar Foundation has already established an extraordinary
tradition of public service that continues to grow each year. The mission
of the Bar Foundation is to help meet the needs of those less fortunate
as well as foster a greater understanding of our legal system. This charitable
arm of the Camden County Bar Association is backed by the volunteer efforts
of many dedicated members who reach out to help strengthen the local community.
This commitment
is making a difference. Each year, the Foundation provides numerous law
student scholarships for outstanding members of the legal profession and
also funds the "Roll of Honor," which provides college money
to children of deceased or incapacitated Camden County attorneys. In addition,
the Foundation undertakes numerous community service projects including:
"Adopt-A-Family"
program during the Holidays with Camden Catholic Social Services
Summer
Picnic as well as a Holiday Party for Needy and Abused Children
