Description

Andrew Joseph III Memorial Weekend Annual Gala Andrew Joseph III was only 14 on February 7, 2014 when he attended the school-sponsored student day at the Florida State Fair. What should have been a night full of memories turned out to be his last when AJIII was detained by law enforcement, despite having done no wrong-doing. While in custody, he was searched and photographed before being transported out of the Fair by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. He was left abandoned near a dark busy highway where he was tragically struck by a car while attempting to return to his designated pick-up point. No one from the Fairgrounds nor the Sheriff's Office had made any attempts to contact AJIII's parents, despite having been a minor in custody. This was an act of negligence that could have been avoided. Join the Andrew Joseph Foundation (www.andrewjosephfoundation.com) on February 12, 2022 at 6pm for our annual memorial gala to honor AJIII's life and legacy.
