Four years ago, Joe died suddenly at age 43. He was passionate about his community and helping others.  To honor his legacy, this scholarship was established in his name to annually award a scholarship to an Allegan High School senior that exhibits the strength of character Joe embodied. This scholarship has already awarded over $10,000 to students that are generous, outgoing, community-minded, forward-thinking, have a sense of humor that engages people, and welcoming to everyone.

This will be the second year we have moved our fundraising efforts online! This is the only fundraiser Team Kavanagh will run this year and everyone coming together to honor Joe and raise money to advance young people to help achieve their dreams is exactly what Joe would do. We sincerely thank you for being a part of this event and hope you take a moment to remember Joe and live by his example…well, at least some of his examples!

LIVE Music Downtown Allegan: Unlike last year, we are excited to again have a downtown event Saturday night (October 2nd)!  The band, The Cheap Dates, will be on the riverfront from 8pm -11pm.  Along with this, you will be able to enjoy some beverages outdoors thanks to the City of Allegan’s “social district”.  You can purchase a wristband/drink tickets for $20 and meander to your favorite spots for a drink. Participating locations include: The Eagles, Sherwood’s Cove, Schaendorf Brewing Co., and Tantrick Brewing Co.

Joe’s Calendar:  Do you have a favorite memory, a date you always remember, or perhaps a joke? If so, you can go to  Joe’s Calendar and pick a day (or days!) to remember Joe. That will be your special day of the year that you can take a moment and think of Joe.
