Camden East NAACP Names 4 Scholarship Winners
By Clyde Hughes | AC JosepH
LAWNSIDE — The Camden County East NAACP this month named their 2021 scholarship recipients, who will attend Brown University, Kean University, Norfolk State University and Rutgers University.
Charney Robinson-Williams, first vice president and scholarship committee co-chair for the Camden County East NAACP said the chapter faced some challenges with restrictions from the coronavirus pandemic.
“We came together and started thinking creatively on ways we could fundraise without our annual brunch and other in-person branch events,,” Robinson-Williams said. “We created an online store, partnered with Rochester’s BBQ restaurant in Lawnside, and reached out to our members both past and present. This allowed us to award four deserving young scholars with the same award amount as last year pre- pandemic.”
