Please join me in fundraising in support of the JoAnn Watson Diversity Scholarship at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

Our beloved JoAnn Rich Watson passed away suddenly on March 25, 2023 after a short three day illness. JoAnn was a dynamic woman who helped a lot of people in her life’s journey. She was a true leader, a teacher, friend to many, a mother to a whole tribe of people, a mentor, and a trail blazer. She fought for things that were near and dear to her heart, and one of them was for equality. In this fight, she set up a scholarship for minorities to encourage them to go back to school, excel and do something better with their lives.

This scholarship is now without money. To keep her flame burning and her memory alive, we would like to ask you to donate to this great cause to help others through school, and in so doing, keep her memory and great work alive.

Thank you for supporting us in raising funds for this incredible cause! Together, we can make a bigger, more meaningful impact.
