The Purpose of Joesph Jones III Memorial Foundation
The Joesph Jones III Memorial Foundation was created out of the love and memory of our beloved Joe who sadly passed very early into his life at just 26 years old. This foundation has the purpose of aiding financial support to students who deserve and work hard to push themselves to achieving a higher level of education. As we understand that higher education comes at a cost and can cause a major stressor on a student and their family, we hope and make it a priority to relieve some of that stress.
