Founded by Timothy and Patricia O’Toole, in memory of Patricia’s parents, to support children with preference to programs for early childhood literacy.

Golda and Roger Delauter were members at Frederick Church of the Brethren, where Golda volunteered as a Sunday school teacher. Golda was a daycare provider when she retired at the age of 80. Her dedication to children and their love of learning motivated the O’Tooles to create the fund.
