Family establishes Adenhart Fund

Even after Nick Adenhart had reached the Majors, the promising pitcher would wax nostalgically about his most memorable games in youth baseball, lucidly thinking as far back as when he was an eight-year-old.

So when his mother, Janet Gigeous, contemplated the appropriate way to honor the memory of Nick, killed by a hit-and-run drunk driver in an Orange County accident in the wee hours of April 9, the decision was easy.

Thus, Janet and Duane Gigeous have set up the Nick Adenhart Memorial Fund to support youth baseball leagues throughout the country.

“Looking back over Nick’s career, he had very fond memories of playing Little League and Pony League baseball,” said Janet. “There were other possible directions for us to go in, such as anti-drunk-driving programs, but we felt strongly about the baseball side.

“So this will be our work. It’s a good way to honor Nick.”

Donations to the Nick Adenhart Memorial Fund can be sent to:

Geier Financial Group
2205 Warwick Way
Suite 200
Marriottsville, MD 21104

Contributions will go toward helping defray expenses of youth leagues in Baltimore native Nick’s tri-state area, as well as in leagues around the United States.
