ABOUT ANN GEISINGER

Ann Geisinger was a Concord resident whose life exemplified community service. She was an active member of the Kerem Shalom congregation, and she contributed to the community as well. Those who knew Ann were touched by her life and moved by her death. This scholarship, funded by Ann’s family and friends, is truly a tribute to a woman about whom we can say, “We all learned from her.”

MAKING DONATIONS TO THE ANN GEISINGER AWARD FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE

The scholarship fund was originally established by the Geisinger family, friends, and members of the congregation. Interest earned on the principal is used to make annual awards, but over the years it has been necessary to use part of the principal. We welcome donations to the fund in order to replenish the fund and enable us to continue giving the award for years to come.
