The SERV Foundation recently received a grant of $10,000 from Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in Titusville, N.J, to support the Scholarship Fund for consumers and the annual SERV Recovery NJ Conference.

Janssen's contribution of $5,000 to the 12th annual SERV Recovery NJ Conference on October 11, 2014, will help to defray expenses for this daylong Wellness & Recovery event to support our consumers with severe and persistent mental illness and/or developmental disabilities. All SERV consumers are invited free of charge to attend a day of workshops geared specifically to mental health wellness. Family members also are invited.

Janssen's contribution of $5,000 to the Scholarship Fund will help pay for tuition and book fees for qualified SERV consumers who seek to further their education. One such consumer, Bettie K. from Union County who is attending school for medical billing, recently shared her story of recovery and hope when she was the guest speaker during the evening reception at the Volley For SERV Tennis Tournament fundraiser on June 16.
