Founded by Luke’s family in his memory and to honor his love of sports, the fund will provide soccer scholarships to Frederick County youth in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Luke Bartlett lost his life in a car accident in September 2015. He was passionate about sports, and played soccer from the time he was in kindergarten, culminating with three years of varsity soccer at Oakdale High School. He also played basketball and baseball, and participated in track and wrestling. His parents, Keith and Elizabeth Bartlett, established the fund as a way to honor Luke’s love of sports, his compassion, competitiveness, giving, spirit and zest for life.
