Jean Wright Memorial Fund

Founded by husband Harold Wright as an unrestricted fund.

Jean Wright was a mother, volunteer and veterinarian. Born in Ohio, Mrs. Wright moved to Michigan and became one of the first female veterinarians in the state. She married her college sweetheart Harold Wright and gave birth to four wonderful children. As a very accomplished and attractive woman she was also an active volunteer in her local church. After her passing, her husband established The Jean Wright Memorial Fund. The Fund is an unrestricted endowment. Therefore, the Community Foundation is able to use money from the Fund to distribute grants to different nonprofit organizations and charitable causes to meet the most pressing community needs in Mrs. Wright’s name.

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.

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.
