Founded by family members in memory of Jay “Doc” Geiser to provide grants to the Frederick County Career and Technology Center to pay for supplies, tools and exams for students in culinary arts programs.
To honor a man who was known for his many talents, and to keep him in the hearts and minds of Frederick County, family members have established The Jay “Doc” Geiser Fund. Known in the community as “Doc” Geiser, Jay was a graduate of Governor Thomas Johnson High School, and he earned a master of the culinary arts from The Culinary Institute of America. After using his culinary talents at various places in Frederick, he purchased Watson’s Carry Out, which became Doc Geiser’s, well known for fried chicken, cole slaw, hot dogs, and hamburgers. Jay’s other talents included a passion for volunteering, and as an accomplished musician, playing in local bands. In addition, he was active and won many awards through his involvement with Toastmasters.
Founded by husband Harold Wright as an unrestricted fund.
Jean Wright was a mother, volunteer and veterinarian. Born in Ohio, Mrs. Wright moved to Michigan and became one of the first female veterinarians in the state. She married her college sweetheart Harold Wright and gave birth to four wonderful children. As a very accomplished and attractive woman she was also an active volunteer in her local church. After her passing, her husband established The Jean Wright Memorial Fund. The Fund is an unrestricted endowment. Therefore, the Community Foundation is able to use money from the Fund to distribute grants to different nonprofit organizations and charitable causes to meet the most pressing community needs in Mrs. Wright’s name.
