Pfautz Scholarship

 

 

A generous contribution from UGI Utilities, Inc, in memory of beloved employee Douglas W. Pfautz, began the fund to memorialize this public servant who loved Elizabethtown.  His committment is detailed in the biographical material below.

 

The  scholarship program rewards young people who emulate his example, and who are traveling on the path to a lifelong commitment of “Service Above Self”—the Rotary motto that also defined the life of Doug Pfautz.

 

 

Thanks to a generous donation from the UGI Corporation, the Rotary Club of Elizabethtown is pleased to sponsor a scholarship program that does more than just keep Doug's name before us. The UGI Corporation, in making a substantial donation to kick off the program, specified that the money must be used for a scholarship in Doug's memory, and to further the academic career of young people who emulate his example.
