Founded with proceeds from the Dan Crozier Music Trust to promote music appreciation, grants to musical organizations, concerts, and music scholarships.
Dan Crozier worked for the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick in Frederick. Although Dr. Crozier and his wife never had children of their own, he was passionate about both children and music. Dr. Crozier set up a trust fund in his will to promote music appreciation throughout Frederick County. For years, the trust awarded grants and scholarships to create awareness about music in the Frederick community. The Dan Crozier Music Trust Fund, established with proceeds from dissolving The Dan Crozier Music Trust to continue Dr. Crozier’s legacy, provides grants to musical organizations for sheet music, instruments and other necessary supplies and materials and awards scholarships to assist high school and college level students pursue formal musical education and training. In addition, this fund helps underwrite the costs of presenting and expanding the number of band and musical concerts in Frederick County.

The Dan Richmond Music and Hope Scholarship Fund was created from a place of deep love, grief, and gratitude. After losing Dan to kidney cancer in September 2025, his family felt called to carry something forward in his name – something that reflected the heart of who he was. Music was Dan’s great passion, but importantly, teaching was his purpose. For more than 32 years, he shaped young musicians not just by showing them how to play, but by helping them believe in themselves. His calm guidance, gentle humor, and patient encouragement left lasting imprints on countless students, many of whom still talk about the confidence he helped them discover.
Founded through Mr. Fogle’s bequest to support the Frederick National Little League.
David A. Fogle, who passed away in December 2013, was an avid supporter of high school and youth athletics. His coaching career, which began in 1982, included the Lions baseball team of Frederick National Little League, Frederick Babe Ruth League, and FSK Post 11 American Legion baseball team. Other sports related community activities included support of the Frederick Community College baseball program, serving on the Governor Thomas Johnson High School Sports Boosters, Frederick National Little League board of directors, and the YMCA’s Alvin G. Quinn Sports Hall of Fame committee. “My father coached baseball for more than 30 years,” said Mark Fogle, David’s son. “He considered the National Little League his summer family, because that’s how he spent every summer. His interest in baseball began when he was a child, as a Little League player with the Optimist team. His coaching began when I started to play tee ball and lasted the rest of his life. It was very special to him.”
