The Scholz name has become synonymous with community involvement. Charles A. and Nancy Scholz raised a large family in the area while remaining active in community service, their church, and local schools. While the Scholz family loved to travel, their hearts remained firmly in the Tri-States.
The couple established the Charles A. and Nancy Scholz Fund, an unrestricted endowment, with the Community Foundation in 2001 as a tribute to their passion for community involvement and as a gift to the area that their family still calls home.
Nancy passed away in December 2005. Charles passed away in 2011. Because they had the foresight to establish a fund years ago, their legacy and the legacy of their family endures for generations to come.
