About Amy Schuerholz Metz:
Established in 2015, the Amy Schuerholz Metz Scholarship is a collaboration between Charm City Run and Amy's family. It honors Amy's memory by inspiring and supporting local high school runners.
Amy was a devoted and enthusiastic runner who found community and joy in her connection with Charm City Run, especially the Timonium store and its events.

This scholarship embodies her love for running and enthusiasm for life.
