With our team regularly working at a variety of sites in Camden, we were introduced to a man named Ray Jones, a graduate of Camden High and 30 year retired police captain. A few years ago, he and a few of his classmates gathered at a reunion and had the idea of starting a non- profit called CHS 1979 & Associates with a mission to help their Camden community. In just three years, the small organization has grown to support education, qual- ity of life and senior citizen causes throughout Camden, while also delivering thousands of Christmas presents to children throughout city. Inspired by Ray, Torcon united nearly a 20 of our subcon- tractors to support his charity’s annual toy drive, pledg- ing to make it the largest to date. Our team donated more than 200 toys to the drive, and rallied our subcontractors to participate by contributing cash and presents at each jobsite. After collecting both toys and funds to support the drive, Torcon kicked off the campaign with a surprise visit from Santa for the children at a local daycare. As our volun- teers helped deliver the toys and join in the holiday cheer with the children. Associates, is a Trustee and member of the Emmanu- el Cancer Foundation (ECF) Board.
