The United Way of Camden County JAWS Youth Fund is an initiative serving at-risk youth throughout Camden County and the Delaware Valley region. This partnership was created over ten years ago by United Way of Camden County and the family of Ron Jaworski, ESPN’s Monday Night Football Analyst and former NFL Eagles Great.
United Way and the Jaworski Family are committed to giving children a better life by creating opportunities for them to be successful. Through special events fundraising, the United Way JAWS Youth Fund has delivered over $2.5 million to over 70 non-profit organizations providing services to children ages 7-18. These programs must provide clear goals and demonstrated outcomes.
“The NFL has made a strong commitment to the United Way, and as a former player I have learned the power of the United Way network,” said Ron. “Along with my family, I have continued that commitment because of the wide spectrum of people we can help through the United Way. I invite everyone to be part of the change. By giving, advocating and volunteering—we can all LIVE UNITED.”
“As a family, we believe in reaching out a hand to one and influencing the condition of all, building the strength of our neighborhoods, and changing the lives of those who walk by us everyday. We could not make a difference without your continued support. Together, UNITED, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.”
