Joey Watson

Joey Watson Memorial Fund Application

The Joey Watson Fund was established to assist families who cannot fully afford to attend the conference. The fund helps primarily by providing conference registration expense assistance and occasionally hotel nights when available funds permit.

Applicants are expected to have requested assistance from local civic clubs, their preferred religious institution or other sources before applying to the Joey Watson fund. Applications will be reviewed after the closing date of this form and you will be notified of the decision. If you have any questions please contact us using the contact form on the website.
