About The Bobby Joe Mason Memorial Foundation 


The Bobby Joe Mason Memorial Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, was created in 2009 as a means of assisting young people in Centralia, Illinois, Bobby Joe's hometown.  An annual memorial golf tournament was established as a major activity of the committee. 
The proceeds of the tournament will go toward:
  • Establishing a scholarship for deserving students to participate in a sports program at the Centralia Recreation Complex and/or the City of Centralia Recreation Program
  • Establishing a scholarship to a deserving student or students at a summer sports camp
  • Establish a BJM scholarship through the Kaskaskia College Foundation

In 2010, the Foundation established the website www.bobbyjoemason.com as a permanent online memorial to the great Bobby Joe.

In the summer of 2011, the City of Centralia honored Bobby Joe by designating several blocks of Howard Street as Bobby Joe Mason Way.
