Weichert Realtors Brockwell & Portwood and the Happy Acres Foundation Help To Donate $101,475 to Camp Baker and the Greater Richmond ARC

Colonial Heights, USA – April 21, 2015 /PressCable/ —

When one door closes another opens and this seems to be the case with the closing of the Camp Happy Acres in Prince George VA. With the closing of this facility in 2012 and the dissolution of the organization, the land assets were recently liquidated with the help of Weichert Realtors Brockwell & Portwood. All the proceeds (land sale and real estate sales commissions) were donated to Camp Baker.

Camp Baker is a year-round special needs camp and retreat in Chesterfield VA.

On March 30th 2015 Camp Baker and the Greater Richmond ARC received a donation in the amount of $101,476.00 to help them continue with their much needed service.

The sum of the donation is a combination of $95,000 in property assets that the Happy Acres Board of Directors chose to donate in addition to over $6,000 in realtor fees additionally donated by Weichert Realtors, Brockwell & Portwood and Joyce Navary.

Joyce Navary, who was the president of the Board of Directors of Happy Acres since 2000, is currently a top selling real estate agent for Weichert Realtors Brockwell & Portwood. Mrs. Navary said that she was glad that the special needs kids who were excited to attend Happy Acres will still be able to receive a like-minded service elsewhere following the camp’s closing.

Weichert Realtors Brockwell & Portwood owner John Brockwell says that he’s always admired the work that both Happy Acres and Camp Baker have done over the years.

Mr. Brockwell stated:

“My partner Deirdre Portwood and I are thrilled to be able to give to an organization that has given so much and done so much good over the years. We look forward to following the continued good work that Camp Baker and the Greater Richmond ARC will do in the years to come.”

Camp Baker is a full-service, handicap-equipped retreat located on 22 wooded acres near Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield VA. Over the past 50 years, Camp Baker has undergone many renovations. Today it is a barrier-free, fully accessible facility providing a rewarding “rustic” camp experience for individuals with disabilities, as well as Respite Care, Adult Day Support and Afterschool Services. State-of-the-art upgrades include the construction of a dining hall, an outdoor amphitheater and a 62-bed lodge to accommodate campers year-round.
