2nd Annual Daniel Watkins Memorial Show

FORKED RIVER, N.J. - April 8, 2025 - PRLog -- Forked River, NJ – The 2nd Annual Daniel Watkins Memorial Show will be held on Saturday, April 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM at the VFW 10118 in Forked River, NJ. This event will honor the life of Daniel Watkins and raise funds for a scholarship fund dedicated to helping local high school seniors pursue their college education. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the scholarship fund in Daniel's name, continuing the legacy of support he received throughout his life.

Last year's event helped five local students attend college, and this year, the goal is to support even more students. We invite the community to come together for this worthy cause and help make a difference in the lives of local youth.

The event is not only about supporting education but also bringing awareness to mental health and suicide prevention. A powerful reminder will be made: If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Please ask for help. YOU ARE LOVED.

In keeping with Daniel's love for music, this year's show will feature live performances from several bands, many of whom are local high school seniors and young adults currently attending college. The event provides an opportunity for young musicians to showcase their talents and connect with their community in a safe and supportive space. Daniel's band, Asinine Relevance, was a major part of his passion for music, and we continue to support the dream of providing local youth with a place to perform and grow.

"We want this event to be a platform for young artists to share their music with the community," said Dorothie Watkins. "Daniel always dreamed of being a rockstar, and while that might not always be a realistic goal for everyone, we want to give kids and young adults the opportunity to be supported and pursue their passions."

Tickets for the event are available in advance, with door sales also available on the day of the show. To purchase tickets, please visit Advance Ticket Link.
