Attorneys and staff from Capehart Scatchard’s Workers’ Compensation Department participated in the Twelfth Annual Fundraising Gala and Auction for Kids’ Chance of New Jersey (“KCNJ”). The event was held on July 23, 2026, at the Hilton in East Brunswick, N.J.
Kids’ Chance of New Jersey is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing scholarships for college and vocational education to the children of workers who have been fatally or catastrophically injured in workplace accidents. The loss or permanent disability of a parent often creates significant financial hardship, placing higher education out of reach for many deserving students. KCNJ helps ensure those young people have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals.
John Geaney, Co-Chair of the Workers’ Compensation Department, serves as a member of KCNJ’s Board of Directors. Marketing Department Co-Directors, Carol Wright and Beth Hopkins, serve as members of the Active Founder Board and Advisory Board, respectively.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of scholarships to 27 students whose parents have experienced life-altering work-related injuries or fatalities. Capehart Scatchard was honored to co-sponsor the scholarship awarded to Benjamin Moskovitz, a fourth-year student at the University of Delaware. Benjamin’s father was permanently disabled due to a severe back injury sustained on the job.
Capehart Scatchard remains committed to supporting the education and future of children affected by workplace accidents and is proud to contribute to the mission of Kids’ Chance of New Jersey.
