2026 HCA Annual Town Dinner
The Annual Town Dinner, hosted by the Haddonfield Civic Association (HCA), is a great tradition in our town. It is a beautiful evening filled with wonderful people and a delightful theme. Since 1937 the Annual Town Dinner honors Haddonfield citizens or organization who display uncommon leadership, intending to recognize those who have unselfishly inspired others and encouraged broader participation in the activities of the Haddonfield community with the Alfred E. Driscoll Community Service Award (renamed in 1979). In addition, the dinner recognizes three Haddonfield Memorial High School (HMHS) seniors with HCA scholarships for the Bradshaw Literary Award, the Quanci Visual Arts Award, and the Kaufmann Performing Arts Award, which recognizes a student’s participation in the performing arts.
On behalf of the Haddonfield Civic Association, we are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2026-2027 Alfred E. Driscoll Community Service Award will be presented to Joe McElroy. The Board of Governors is very impressed with Joe’s deep commitment to our community and involvement in so many organizations and campaigns as a volunteer. The Driscoll Award was created to recognize the role models in our community with the hope that others will be inspired to do the same. Joe McElroy is the perfect example of the ‘uncommon’ volunteer the Driscoll Award seeks to honor.
