Josh Whitfield Memorial Athletic Fund
Our mission is to reduce the financial barriers to participation in kids’ athletics and other activities. 100% of all funds raised will be used to assist our community’s youth.

The CCC works together with the JWMAF Board to ensure the funds are being allocated appropriately. For more information on how the process works, please visit our Application Page or contact us.
Events
Josh made himself available for every event he could. He participated in golf leagues, wiffle ball, indoor soccer, and dodgeball to name a few. It only makes sense to host a variety of fundraising events doing the things he loved most. We thank the community for participating and encourage all members to join us in the future.
Partnerships
The Josh Whitfield Memorial Athletic Fund is proud to team up with these great, local organizations.
Since the launch of the JWMAF, we have helped hundreds of elementary, middle, and high school students and teams with fees and other supportive services.
Josh loved sharing stories of his Little League days. To help others get out on the diamond, the JWMAF helps Little Leaguers in need.
To increase our impact on elementary school youth, we have provided a grant to subsidize the distribution of athletic shoes for Comstock since 2018.
We’re a proud sponsor of GOTR Kalamazoo and their mission to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident which creatively integrates running.
The Patrick J. Everett Memorial Scholarship is granted to a graduating senior that has participated in athletics and plans to pursue a career in skilled trades. It was Pat’s passion for the trades and continuing education that led to a successful 33 year career as a machine repairman at General Motors before his retirement. Pat voluntarily built games and playground structures for Comstock Schools and his legacy will continue to build outstanding young men and women in our community.
