About AJ Howard
The AJ Howard Memorial Fund was established in May of 2016. AJ was tragically taken from his family in an auto accident. In lieu of flowers at his memorial service, AJ’s mother asked that any money be donated to the Belton High School Marching Band (M100) to help pay the band fees for those students who would benefit from the support of available funds. These donations covered the cost of equipment, uniforms, instruments & private lesson fees for many M100 band members, making it possible for all M100 members to have what they need to not only participate, but also excel in band.
In Remembrance
The Belton Band Boosters continues to honor AJ’s memory through the AJ Howard Scholarship Fund, providing financial assistance to band students in need. Every dollar made from the Annual 5K goes directly to students from Belton High School, Belton Middle School, and South Belton Middle School to help cover the cost of uniforms, instruments, and private lessons. AJ had a servant’s heart and was well loved by his fellow band members. He will not be forgotten. Through the AJ Howard Scholarship Fund his spirit of generosity lives on and will continue to impact the lives of M100 members for many years to come.
