Jeffrey Hayek Memorial Fund

Founded by parents Brian and Robin Hayek to create and maintain a recreation baseball field and to provide baseball/softball equipment for youth.

“I often dream of being in the big diamond! And wishing for a ball to come my way. I think of being a star! And, when I dream I want to dive and catch the ball, I feel like I am weightless. I often dream of being in the big diamond!”—A heartfelt and moving poem by 10-year-old Jeffrey Hayek, whose passion for all things baseball was cut short when he passed away from blood clotting complications. Established by Jeff’s parents, Brian and Robin Hayek, The Jeffrey Hayek Memorial Fund benefits the creation and maintenance of a recreation league in New Market. Jeff’s memory, and his love for baseball will live on through the creation of “Jeffy’s Field” through The Jeffrey Hayek Memorial Fund.

Jeffrey Hayek Scholarship Fund

Founded by the Hayek family for graduating seniors from Linganore High School or Oakdale High School based on a 3.0 GPA, 50 hours of community service, participation in school activities/clubs, and involvement in faith-based activities.

Jeffrey Hayek was a sweet, caring, and full-of-life 10 year old boy who had a love for baseball, root beer, and the color pink. He also enjoyed playing the snare drum in the 4^th grade band. According to his family, he was always looking forward to what was happening next. During his short life, he brought a smile to many people’s faces. Sadly, shortly after Jeff finished 4^th grade in June of 2007, he suddenly passed away from a clotting disorder in his head. His legacy will be kept alive through this scholarship fund to assist graduates of Linganore and Oakdale High Schools in paying for college.

Founded by Roger F. Nicodemus for Frederick County residents, preferably those interested in theater.

Nicodemus to award scholarships to Frederick County residents, particularly those with an interest in theater, and The Fredericktowne Players/Jeffrey W. Kight Scholarship Fund founded by the Fredericktowne Players for students participating in its productions.
