The Joel A. Stephens Memorial Fund
On
September 30, 1998, Joel passed away at the age of 22.
In the fall of 1999, the Frederick Keys created The Joel
A. Stephens Memorial Fund through the Community
Foundation of Frederick County (MD) to benefit children
dealing with a serious illness or bereavement due to the
death of a parent or sibling. Proceeds from the Keys
Charity Golf events as well as from private donations
have helped make this fund a reality. On behalf of the
Frederick Keys and the Stephens family, we thank all of
you for helping keep Joel’s legacy alive.
The
14th annual Frederick Keys Charity Golf Classic is set
to take place on Monday, August 17 at Hollow Creek Golf
Club in Middletown, MD. Information regarding the
tournament may be directed to tournament director
Christian Amorosi at 301-815-9907 or by email to
camorosi@frederickkeys.com.
For the
2008-2009 grant year the Joel’s Kids recipients are

County Youth Athletic Facilities. Past year

Frederick County, Challenger Little League of Frederick,
