The Randy D. Thrower Scholarship Foundation, Inc., was set up to honor the late Randy Drake Thrower of Queenstown, MD. Randy was killed on April 2, 2016, due to an automobile accident on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. He was 21.

Randy’s passions in life were his family, friends, sports, and health and fitness. He is remembered by most for his infectious smile and for the encouragement he showed to others. Randy’s motto was “family over everything,” and his family extended well beyond his own.

Through the Randy D. Thrower Scholarship Foundation, his family would like to carry on his passions by giving back the community.

We hope that you will join us and that we can count on your support to help us to continue to honor Randy and grow his “family.” To register, visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/family-over-everything-7k-run-tickets-43958046701
