Who We Are |
After seeing the local community's response to Jamie's death, Jim and Margaret Crescenzo decided to create a foundation in their daughter's honor. The Remembering Jamie Foundation is a reflection of everything that was important to Jamie in her brief 20 years: Family, Friends, Community and Education. The emphasis of the foundation is to provide support and opportunity to local students and provide safe driving education.

Our History |
The foundation has raised and given out thousands in scholarships to ACCC and EHT students ever since Remembering Jamie's first Italian dinner fundraiser. Over 500 people now attend the dinner each year and it has become a annual community tradition that utilizes food donated from family, friends and area businesses. Fundraising expanded into an annual golf tournament that now brings together old friends to play and have fun in the great south jersey September weather.
