First John and Ginny Greene Music Scholarship Awarded to Frederick High Graduate

Frederick, Maryland; June 29, 2007: Frederick High School graduate Elaine Davy was recently awarded the first scholarship from The John and Ginny Greene Music Scholarship Fund held by The Community Foundation of Frederick County.

Ms. Davy will attend Towson University in the fall to pursue a degree in Music Education and Performance. She is a member of the Calvary United Methodist Church Youth Group and sings in one of the Church’s choirs every Sunday, including various solo performances at church throughout the year. She is also a member of the Frederick Chamber Singers, the National Honor Society, Maryland All State Choir, Maryland All County Chorus, and All Eastern Chorus. In the future, Ms. Davy hopes to perform in opera or musical theater productions, or to teach music education.

Ms. Davy says she is extremely pleased to be the one chosen for the first John and Ginny Greene Music Scholarship. “It will help me so much as I worked toward a degree in Music Education and Performance.”

The John and Ginny Greene Scholarship Fund was created by Mr. and Mrs. Greene so that others may benefit from their passion for music and education by awarding scholarships to Frederick High School students studying music or a related field.

“Music is such an integral part of our lives, and education is of the utmost importance,” says Mrs. Greene. “What better way to give back to the community than by helping others to pursue an education in music through our Community Foundation fund. It is so rewarding to both John and me.”

The Community Foundation is among the leading local resources for scholarships, working with individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to establish charitable funds that provide deserving students with scholarships.
