Founded by parents Pamela M. Flickinger and Donald R. Muse to provide scholarships for Frederick County youth of middle or high school age in need of financial assistance to participate in programs or camps related to athletics and performing arts.

Dustin and Courtney Muse were two Frederick youths with outstanding achievements. Most remarkable was their combined success. They were a rare find, as siblings who exhibited equally noteworthy accomplishments. Sixteen-year-old Dustin Muse was starting quarterback for the Governor Thomas Johnson High School football team. Known for his drive and determination in the sports in which he participated, Dustin also displayed scholastic success and in turn became a significant member of the high school and the Frederick community. A member of the Monocacy Middle School chorus and an honor roll student, Dustin’s younger sister Courtney was a bright 13-year-old who loved dancing, country music, playing the piano, and musical theater. Tragically, their promising, young lives were cut short when they died in a car accident in December, 2006.They are forever remembered through The Dustin and Courtney Muse Memorial Fund.
