Attorneys and staff from Capehart Scatchard’s Workers’ Compensation Department recently attended the Ninth Annual Fundraising Gala and Auction for Kids’ Chance of New Jersey (“KCNJ”). To date, KCNJ has raised over one million dollars to provide scholarships for children of injured workers. The event was held on July 20, 2023, at the Hilton in East Brunswick, N.J.
KCNJ is a non-profit organization, created to provide educational opportunities and scholarships for the children of workers who were fatally or catastrophically injured on the job. John Geaney, Co-Chair of the Workers’ Compensation Department, serves as a member of the Kids’ Chance Board of Directors. Marketing Department Co-Directors, Carol Wright and Beth Hopkins, serve as members of the Active Founder Board and Advisory Board, respectively.
The highlight of this year’s Gala featured the presentation of scholarships to students whose parents suffered fatal or physically catastrophic injuries while working. Each student was awarded up to $10,000 for the upcoming school year. Capehart Scatchard was a co-sponsor of the $10,000 scholarship given to Benjamin Moskovitz, whose father is permanently disabled from a work-related back injury. Mr. Moskovitz is an incoming first-year student at the University of Delaware.
