Lauren Rose Albert Foundation to Honor Senator James Beach

In a strange twist of fate, two, one-time political opponents for the position of Camden County Clerk, Susan Rose, founder and president of the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation and New Jersey State Senator Jim Beach, have joined forces to change the lives of countless mothers in need through their work with Mothers Matter and the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation.

In recognition of his tireless support of the Foundation, Senator Jim Beach will be honored at an event at Tavistock Country Club in Haddonfield on Friday, November 15th. 

“Jim Beach is a wonderful man who helped me cope with the loss of my daughter,” said Rose.  “He also helped me find a purpose and redirect my energy in assisting mothers in need.”
