Camden, NJ — The newly relaunched Camden Health & Athletic Association (CHAA) is already
making a visible impact across the city, strengthening partnerships and expanding youth athletic
opportunities from the very start of its renewed operations. Under the management of Camden
Community Partnership and inspired by the philanthropic vision of George E. Norcross III, CHAA
proudly served as a sponsor of the 2025 Annual Camden Peace Games Basketball Tournament, one of
Camden’s signature summer events promoting unity, wellness, and positive youth engagement.
The Camden Health & Athletic Association played a vital role in this year’s Peace Games by supporting
a high-quality Skills & Drills Basketball Clinic during the tournament, delivered in collaboration
with WAR Room Basketball Training. Coaches provided young athletes with hands-on instruction in
ball-handling, shooting mechanics, footwork, conditioning, and defensive fundamentals — helping
youth build confidence, improve their skills, and gain positive mentorship in a structured environment.
“The relaunch of CHAA marks the beginning of a new chapter in youth sports in Camden,” said Dana L.
Redd, President & CEO of Camden Community Partnership. “Supporting the Peace Games and helping
deliver the Skills & Drills Clinic allowed CHAA to demonstrate early on that we are committed to
creating pathways of opportunity for our young people. The Peace Games are a beloved Camden
tradition — they bring communities together, inspire unity across neighborhoods, and highlight the
immense talent of our youth.”
