The Cameron Foundation aims to transform the Tri-Cities and surrounding counties into a region that is healthy, vibrant, and economically robust. They achieve this by leveraging resources strategically for maximum community impact in areas including Petersburg, Colonial Heights, and Hopewell; the counties of Dinwiddie, Prince George, and Sussex; and part of Chesterfield County lying south of Route 10.
