RECOGNIZING MRS. BEVERLY CAMP
______
HON. DAVID G. VALADAO
of california
in the house of representatives
Monday, March 7, 2022
Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Mrs. Beverly Camp, who tragically passed away just a few weeks ago.
A New York City native, Mrs. Camp and her family moved to the Central Valley when she was just 17 years old. She found a new home in Bakersfield, California, and graduated from West High School in 1979.
Mrs. Camp spent most of her adult life giving back to others. Her philanthropic work in the Central Valley supported countless groups of people. Throughout her life she was able to raise millions of dollars for charity. Together with her husband, Jim, the Camps selflessly served their community and helped lift people out of the most challenging of circumstances.
Mrs. Camp's charitable work was recognized by many different groups throughout her philanthropic career. She was awarded the Community Service Person of the Year Award from the Kern County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Humanitarian of the Year Award by the Community Action Partnership, and the Woman of the Year Award for California's 16th Senate District after being personally nominated by Senator Shannon Grover. Additionally, many Catholic charities recognized the work of Mrs. Camp, a dedicated Catholic herself, through their naming of the Beverly Camp Career and Education Center.
Mrs. Camp was a valued member of our local community, and it is with great pride that I recognize her for her life of service in the Central Valley community.
Madam Speaker, I ask all my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in honoring the life of Mrs. Beverly Camp.
