The Community Foundation of Greene County (CFGC) recently announced there will be one $1,000 scholarship award from the Rocky Doman Memorial Fund this year. The scholarship will be awarded during the recipient’s high school awards ceremony at the end of the school year. The Rocky Doman Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in honor of Rock A. Doman.

Doman, a 2000 graduate of Carmichaels Area High School, was an outstanding high school football player who won numerous awards and accolades.

He is one of only four Greene County players to rush for 4,000 yards.

Doman’s mother, Patti Doman, said she hopes the award helps a humble student with the necessities of college.

“I hope it goes to a humble person like Rocky and helps him or her with their expenses for college such as tuition, books or other needs,” Doman said. “I know Rocky would be so honored this could be done for someone.”

To be eligible for the scholarship, a candidate must be a male or female senior at one of the five Greene County high schools, must pursue a degree at an accredited two-year or four-year institution, be a standout athlete of any sport and be team player and demonstrate a humble spirit.

Additional scholarship criteria, guidelines and forms will be available on the CFGC Web site, www.cfgcpa.org, or through the high school guidance offices at Carmichaels Area Junior/Senior High School, Jefferson-Morgan Middle School/High School, Mapletown Junior/Senior High School, Waynesburg Central High School and West Greene High School.

The scholarship award is made possible through the contributions of many individuals, businesses and corporations who participated in the Rocky Doman Memorial Scholarship Golf Outing.

The golf outing, held this past August, raised more than $9,000, which the Doman family turned over to the Community Foundation who will oversee the scholarship fund.

According to Doman, the family was touched by the overwhelming support and participation of all who helped make the fundraiser such a success. Another golf outing is planned for August 2010 to help raise the $25,000 needed to permanently endow the scholarship fund at CFGC.

The Community Foundation of Greene County (CFGC), a private, non-profit 501c3 organization founded in 2000, is the central philanthropic vehicle in Greene County for donations of various types and sizes. CFGC currently manages $2 million in assets through nearly 40 different funds. Gifts made through the Community Foundation are tax deductible.
