On Thursday, October 11, 2018, dignitaries from all over the region gathered at the Adventure Aquarium for Hopeworks Annual Gala honoring Camden Police Chief J. Scott Thomson with this year’s Hopebuilder Award, recognizing the tremendous leadership Chief Thomson has demonstrated in helping Camden become a safer city.
Just honoring Chief Thomson, however, was not the only benefit of this year’s Gala.
