The purpose of the Torch Award Program is to:

2. Reward programs and practices that achieve excellence. Gold, Silver and Bronze Torch Awards are presented based on the individual quality of programs.  The awards are given across many broad categories.
3. Disseminate the best of club programming and practices.  Entries will be accessible through the FJMC website for other clubs to read, view video, adopt or adapt.
4. Use Torch Awards as example programs to assist all FJMC clubs to qualify to receive FJMC Quality Club Awards.
5. Provide selected entries for display at the Convention Program Fair, showcasing the effort and creativity of Men’s Clubs across North America.
6. Educate and stimulate club leaders at Convention with program ideas.
