Please join us in supporting the families of Tyler Barlow, Dalton Conway and Caleb Wilkinson as they work to build a permanent Seafarers Memorial in our community. Through the support of several community leaders, the family has developed a concept that will honor not only the lives of these three young men but also any in our community, past or future, with similar circumstances. The placement within St. Mary’s historic district is specifically meaningful given St. Mary’s notable past as one of the oldest fishing villages on the East Coast.
The family has presented this concept to the St. Mary's Historical Preservation Committee and is now scheduled to present the plan to St. Mary's City Council on October 7th. To make this project a reality, funds to build the memorial on municipal land will have to be raised. Current estimates make the total fundraising goal approximately $50,0000. All donations are tax-deductible and can be made on the link below or by mailing a check to 531 North Lee Street, Payee: Camden Connection – Seafarers Memorial Fund.
Donate via Paypal hereWe want to give a huge thanks to the engineering firm Thomas & Hutton for their support and donation of technical assistance in developing this concept.
Camden Connection was established in 1989 as a committee to help children at risk. Over the last three decades, we have grown into a community development organization structured to establish and communicate meaningful solutions to the problems facing Camden’s families and children.
As Camden County’s official agency for improving the lives of families and children, we serve as a liaison between government agencies, health organizations, faith communities, businesses and civic groups.
We believe Camden is stronger together. Together we can enhance the economic, civic, and social potential of every child and family in Camden County.
