Today is World Cancer Day 💛
World Cancer Day is an international day marked on February 4th to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. 🙏🏻

Since 1998, Ryans Foundation has been helping children with life threatening illnesses in the Mid Hudson Valley. With over 4,000 children helped and 4.5 million dollars raised, every dollar goes back to a child and family in need. We will continue to never say no and do everything we can to make a difference in the life of that child, in honor of our Ryan who passed away from Ewing Sarcoma at 4 years old.

God bless all our angels, fighters, and families 💛💙

Our History and Mission

CCILC was founded in 1991 by Mrs. Lorraine Culbertson (Mrs. C) and she served as the first Executive Director of Camden City Independent Living Center. Born and raised in Camden, Mrs. C graduated from Camden High School in 1955. She received a degree in Criminal Justice from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) in 1975. Throughout her life, Mrs. C found time to teach, work with prison inmates, and sell real estate. However, her work at CCILC was perhaps her greatest achievement.

The Camden City Independent Living Center, INC. (CCILC) is a non-profit, grass-roots organization that is fully governed by a board of directs, of which fifty-one (51%) percent is disabled. CCILC exists to empower individuals with disabilities to take charge of their lives, to raise a family and participate fully in all educations vocational, and governmental and social activities in our society and their community. The disabled community is made aware that CCILC is "their" center and that we will advocate and work with them to provide the programs and services needed in developing their abilities to lead purposeful lives. It is our mission whenever possible to seek the most productive and independent lifestyles as possible for the city of Camden's disabled residents.

CCILC is dedicated to providing Camden City Residents with disabilities the opportunity to actively participate in society.
