Solomons Dragon Boat Festival
Saturday, August 13th
Crowds came out to cheer on the Cedar Point team at the annual Solomons Dragon Boat Festival on Solomons Island, MD. This fun, family-oriented event featured 19 teams of paddlers competing for glory on the Patuxent River! The day was filled with dragon boat races, entertainment, caricature artists, children’s activities, vendor village, an awards ceremony and other fun activities.
The event raised funds for SMCR and its members with developmental differences. Cedar Point was the premier sponsor of this event and is proud to have donated over $50,000 to SMCR since the organization's inception.

Scholarship Awards Ceremony
May 16th, 2022
Education is one of the largest steps one can take toward building a career, being a better neighbor, and standing up for what is right. Cedar Point has had the pleasure of helping numerous young people continue in this pursuit of knowledge with the Frank E. Gorely scholarship, the Keepers Club scholarship, the Beacon scholarship, and the CPFS scholarship. This year’s recipients were Olivia Berkut from Chopticon High School, Anna Kate Carrigg from Leonardtown High School, Julianna Hammett from Leonardtown High School, and Ezra Huckabee (not pictured) who studies at home.
These four outstanding individuals were selected from a pool of 126 qualified applicants. Colleen Blundell, Vice President of CPFS, stated, “We were impressed by the grades, extracurricular activities, and community service of all our applicants. It was so hard to choose this year!” These final four stood out due to their exemplary scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. Each recipient looks forward to attending a four-year university in the fall, continuing their education to succeed professionally.
At the scholarship ceremony held on May 16th, Cedar Point’s president only had one piece of advice for the young scholars. “You have all worked very hard since the ninth grade to get here. In college, keep that determination; don’t give up. Get your degree and make your life after the degree that much better.” Cedar Point is honored to have such well-rounded recipients and looks forward to the amazing things they will do.

Hospice of the Chesapeake
The COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for the entire community, and especially for children who have lost loved ones. To make an impact, our marketing department volunteered at Hospice of the Chesapeake filling bags for local children in need of grief counseling services. Employees enjoyed the opportunity to support our local community by lending a helping hand. Cedar Point also donated $2,000 to help fill these bags with high quality books and items.
