Thank you to the Community Foundation of Frederick County for helping us make the Memorial Fund a success!!

The Jeremy Magers Memorial Baseball and Softball Fund has been established to honor Jeremy’s passion for the game and to support youth players in Frederick County. Sarah, his fiance, said, “He loved helping children of all ages and took great pride in watching them grow in the sport of baseball and softball.” This fund will provide resources and opportunities for young baseball and softball players to help them thrive.
