Founded by the Lions Club of Frederick and the friends and family of Chief Charles Main in honor of his 90th birthday to support Frederick County students pursuing a career in criminal justice.
Charles V. Main was born on January 22, 1910 in Middletown and continued making his mark in Frederick County until his death in March 2005. Main, a graduate of Frederick High School, went on to become a Maryland State Trooper in 1932. He continued serving until 1952 when, at the request of a friend and then Mayor Don Rice Sr., he joined the Frederick City Police Department (FCPD). He remained with the FCPD for 24 years, serving as Chief of Police. Chief Main was known for his constant willingness to help others, and in 1986 he joined fellow visionaries to create The Community Foundation of Frederick County, which holds funds to fulfill the charitable intentions of Frederick County residents. Several funds at the Community Foundation bear his name or were influenced by him and continue to reach out to assist others, as Chief Main would have liked. The Chief Charles V. Main Scholarship Fund, a surprise honor for his 90th birthday, supports local students pursuing careers in criminal justice. The fund is sustained through donations and the sale proceeds from Chief Main’s book of memoirs entitled Frederick’s Main Street. The Frederick Police Department Endowment Fund was launched in Chief Main’s honor upon his retirement to commemorate his years of service. The FCPD started the fund to provide financial assistance to families of police officers. Chief Main and his wife Louise created The Mr. and Mrs. Charles V. Main Fund in 1992 to address the community’s most pressing needs. During his lifetime Chief Main volunteered his time, talents and treasures with 19 nonprofit organizations including the Jeanne Bussard Center where he served as President of the Board of Directors in 1969. The Charles V. Main/President’s Fund for the former Jeanne Bussard Center was created for the Center’s operational support but also to recognize Chief Main’s charitable work. Chief Main’s generosity continues even after his lifetime through provisions he made in his estate plans to create The Charles V. and Louise D. Main Endowment Fund. This unrestricted fund supports Frederick County nonprofits; however, special consideration is given to projects for Calvary United Methodist Church.
Founded by parents Michael and Sheryl LaRoi for Urbana High School graduating seniors majoring in education or performing arts.
Christine LaRoi was a junior at Urbana High School whose love of ballet and modern dance defined her life. She began dancing at the age of five. She took classes at Dance Unlimited and 24/7 and performed one of the major parts in Urbana High School’s spring 2004 musical production of Swing. In school, she liked her Child Development and English Literature classes and tried out for the cheerleading team days before she tragically passed away from injuries sustained in an automobile accident on Penn Shop Road. Christine hoped to study elementary education at the University of Montana or West Virginia University and pursue a career in teaching in Whitefish, Montana, where her family owns lakefront property. Members of the LaRoi family turned to the Community Foundation to establish The Christine LaRoi Memorial Fund. The Fund honors 17-year-old Christine LaRoi’s legacy by awarding scholarships, particularly to Urbana High School graduating seniors interested in the performing arts.
