Roger Uber

Roger is a member of the Boy Scouts of America and volunteers as a “Lunch Buddy,” with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, having lunch with a young boy at the grade school weekly. Active with People First, a local advocacy group, Roger helped raise money in 2005 for Relay For Life – Garrett County Hospice. Roger also serves in many roles as the official host of the Special Olympics Maryland Winter Games in Garrett County.

During the most recent Winter Games, he served as the athlete representative for the Games Evaluation Team, as an official at the Cross Country & Snowshoeing venue, a speaker at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and filled in at the awards ceremony as a general volunteer. Roger has never met a stranger. He literally loves his neighbor, is always giving of himself, and encourages others toward success. One of Roger’s Special Olympics coaches’ states, “He lives to help others. Our lives would have a great void without him.”
