1LT Rob Seidel Wounded Soldiers Fund

To honor Rob’s memory, the Seidel family established The 1LT Rob Seidel Wounded Soldiers Fund to support charities that provide direct services to military veterans of the War on Terrorism. Such services may include medical treatment, housing assistance, psychological, physical, occupational, recreational, music, and art therapies, companionship, mentoring, employment training, and any other service that will help veterans of the War.

1LT Rob Seidel was a 2000 Catoctin High graduate, where he played football and baseball and excelled academically. He went on to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and served as a platoon leader with the 10th Mountain Division in Iraq. The United States and the Frederick County community lost a dedicated soldier when 1LT Seidel was killed in action in Iraq on May 18, 2006. As a platoon leader, 1LT Seidel felt a tremendous responsibility for the safety and well-being of his men, putting their concerns above himself. To honor his memory and his commitment to his troops, his parents, Bob and Sandy Seidel, established The 1LT Robert A. Seidel III Memorial Scholarship Fund to award scholarships to graduating seniors from Catoctin High School, who exhibit academic promise, have participated in at least one varsity sport during their senior year, demonstrate an outstanding record of community service, and are active in their faith; and The 1LT Rob Seidel Wounded Soldiers Fund to award grants to nonprofit organizations who support wounded solders with medical treatment, housing assistance, psychological counseling, physical and occupational therapies, companionship, mentoring and employment training.

Betty Seligmann Literacy Endowment Fund

Founded by Literacy Council of Frederick County in memory of its former Board President for operational support.

Betty Seligmann’s impact on Frederick through the Literacy Council was immense. She worked as a tutor, trainer, board president, basic program coordinator, and with the Literacy Council. She attracted tutors through her tireless efforts, and students through outreach to churches, community organizations and businesses. She understood the history of illiteracy in Frederick and used that knowledge to find places to publicize how the Literacy Council could help. Beyond the Literacy Council, she was a family orientated and a member of the Frederick Presbyterian Church. In honor of her dedication to the Literacy Council, its Board of Directors established The Betty Seligmann Literacy Endowment Fund. This Fund supports the activities of the Literacy Council of Frederick County.
