Mom and Dad established the Mary Jean and Oliver S. Travers Jr. foundation and funded it with over 8 Million dollars of their own money and they have served on so many boards and volunteered their time and money and energy to non-profits and from their foundation we give $400,000 to non-profits each year if not more. They asked us kids to follow in their footsteps by volunteering our time, money and energy to worthy causes and support them. To that extent we board members do that.

Also, they they have so many awards that I will just show them and not write about them and the awards shown are only a portion .  One or the other , mom or dad, served on the board of or volunterred Notre Dame Tennis teacher, Maryland National bank board, Broadcasting institute, Nations Bank, Clean Harbors, PPG group, Kernan Hospital, and the list goes on and on

HE also was awarded many times for his service and below are some of those awards like: Who’s Who from a few institutions, Young Presidents Association, Distinguished Service Award from Maryland State Squash and received awards from governors and county council and one was from Kentucky Governor.   He was written up and in many cases more than noted in: Baltimore Sun 1986, Post Gazete 1986, Business Week -1986, New York Times 1986, Valley News Dispatch 1986, Washington Post 1986, USA today 1986, News American 1979, Wall Street Journal 1990, News Week 1965
