Watson Legacy Society

The Watson Legacy Society was named in memory of Muriel and John Watson, who were instrumental in founding the Lighthouse.  Mrs. Watson is responsible for raising over $3 million for our nonprofit and was a passionate advocate for people of all ages  with vision impairment.

The Lighthouse of Pinellas established the Watson Legacy Society to honor the generosity and vision of those donors who make a meaningful contribution through the lasting impact of a planned gift.
