BBJ Family Foundation

The Barbara Barrington Jones Family Foundation exemplifies excellence, leadership and vision in its commitment to enhancing the quality of life for people of all ages throughout the world. It supports and encourages self-esteem in teenage girls through the “Be The Best You” Girls Camp and seeks to motivate and help them realize their full potential to lead more fulfilling and productive lives.  ”A New You” Retreat for Women helps women increase their individual strengths and guides them toward fulfilling their potential by focusing on goals in their lives.

The HBJ Foundation, now known as the BBJ Family Foundation, was formed by Harold R. Jones in 1996. Mr. Jones was a philanthropist who throughout his life found many avenues to help people. The foundation financially sponsors and supports two camps dedicated to leaving a legacy of love as they help teenage girls and women improve their self-esteem and inspire them to lead more fulfilling and productive lives as well as to make a difference in the world through service to others.
