#amerihealth new jersey

The Camden Health and Athletic Association received a $1 million grant to promote and organize sporting events for youths in the City of Camden. Supported by the Cooper Foundation, AmeriHealth New Jersey, and the Norcross Foundation, this project aims to assist existing youth athletic clubs/teams and improve organizations by providing extracurricular opportunities to children and families.  Apart from bringing the community together through sports, common health issues such as obesity are addressed through health screenings to those participating.  The athletic plan will help to aid in eliminating costs for uniforms and equipment so that this opportunity is able to reach out to challenged families.
