Jane Talarico and Michael Paskowsky established The Nicholas Talarico Paskowsky Memorial Fund to honor the memory of their son, Nicholas Talarico Paskowsky, after his death in 2004 at the age of 20. The Fund awards annual scholarships to Frederick High School graduates to attend a two-or four-year college or university and also provides assistance to Saint Mary’s College of Maryland students to study abroad, particularly to Spanish-speaking countries. A 2002 Frederick High School graduate, Nicholas Paskowsky was a history major at Saint Mary’s College of Maryland, and was scheduled to spend a semester abroad in Costa Rica before his untimely death.

To date, three Frederick High School students have been awarded scholarships with a fourth scholarship to be awarded for the 2008-2009 academic year. Additionally, three students from Saint Mary’s College of Maryland have been able to study abroad because of support from the Fund, says Michael Paskowsky. “We’re delighted that so much good has been generated by the Annual Nicholas Talarico Paskowsky Memorial Fundraiser at Camden Yards.”

Those unable to participate in the baseball fundraiser may still support The Nicholas Talarico Paskowsky Memorial Fund to make future scholarship awards possible. Tax-deductible contributions are accepted at any time in any amount. To make an online contribution, click here. Checks made payable to The Community Foundation of Frederick County with the Fund’s name in the memo line may be mailed to 312 East Church Street, Frederick, Maryland, 21701.

Since 1986, the Community Foundation has worked with generous citizens to establish charitable funds that honor the legacy of deceased loved ones, returning more than $17 million in grants and scholarships to the Frederick County community.
