A Little About Us

Meet Our Board Members

The Foundation is administered by the following individuals.  They represent various sports and various areas of Alabama.

Our Mission

The Ultimate Goal of the Foundation is to provide Financial Scholarships to Officials Children from a self-funded environment. It is our financial goal to distribute a minimum of $4000.00 each year in scholarships. It is also our goal to establish and maintain a Hall of Fame for Officials from the state of Alabama. An annual induction ceremony will be held for this purpose. Our first induction ceremony was successfully launched in 2019. Finally, our goal is to establish a program that centers around the recruitment and retention of officials within our state.
