Participants in the press conference included Camden Community Partnership President and CEO Dana L. Redd, Cooper University Health Care Chairman George E. Norcross, III, Cooper University Health Care co-CEO Anthony Mazzarelli, Eagles legend Ron Jaworski, and Camden Mayor Victor Carstarphen.

“Since its founding almost a decade ago, the Camden Health and Athletic Association has provided support, guidance, and funding to schools, community-based leagues, and local organizations to harness the power of sports to build a stronger, healthier community,” said Dana L. Redd who served as Camden’s Mayor when CHAA started and who as current president of the Camden Community Partnership (CCP) will assume management responsibilities of the relaunched CHAA.

“Through CHAA, thousands of children have benefited from CHAA’s efforts, and today’s relaunch represents a bold new chapter—one that builds on past success to meet the needs of Camden’s youth for years to come.”
