Camden Community Partnership

Exciting times in Camden! Yesterday, we celebrated the grand opening of the revitalized basketball court at Farnham Park in the Parkside community. To kick off the celebration, youth from the Camden County Police Department's Village Initiative put their skills to the test with some drills and a friendly game. This exciting project was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Sixers Youth Foundation and the Philadelphia 76ers. #CamdenParks #Sixers #Teamcamden #2024projects

One year of excellent service to the Camden community! This CCP and VIA-driven program implements a brand-new transportation option to meet the needs of Camden residents accessing employment within the City. It provides efficient connections to public transit options, including NJ TRANSIT bus, rail, light rail, and DRPA PATCO commuter services.

The EMR USA team had an amazing time attending the Peace Games event organized by Camden County in collaboration with Camden Community Partnerships, the City of Camden Mayor's Office and PARK (Providing Alternative Recreation for Kids). It was truly inspiring to see our community come together for a day of unity, fun, and positive action. Of course, the main event was the two-day basketball tournament that saw over 200 athletes showcase both their talent and their sportsmanship! We were thrilled to be invited back for a second year and are proud to have contributed $5,000 to support this event and its mission of promoting peace and community engagement. From the interactive games to the meaningful conversations, every moment was a testament to the power of coming together for a common cause. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special. We look forward to continuing our efforts in supporting such impactful initiatives. #EMRUSA #PeaceGames #Community
