🏆 ICYMI: DoGood-er Awards Founder Caressa Peterson Joins the Morning News Express

Bob Miller welcomed Caressa Peterson, founder and coordinator of the DoGood-er Awards, to the Morning News Express to preview this year's celebration of the people making a difference throughout Frederick County.

Founded in 2014, the DoGood-er Awards recognize the everyday heroes who give their time, energy and talents to help others. Honorees come from across the community, with categories recognizing volunteers, young people, businesses, educators, public servants, military members, nonprofits and unsung heroes.

Caressa talks with Bob about how the awards got started, what goes into selecting the honorees and why recognizing people who quietly give back can have such a positive impact on the entire community.

And Bob knows the DoGood-er Awards pretty well! After being honored with an award himself last year, Bob returns this year as the keynote speaker for the annual ceremony, taking place Thursday, Oct. 8.

The event also gives back, with proceeds helping support local nonprofits and community organizations throughout Frederick County.

The Morning News Express is your weekday wake-up call from 6–9am, led by the one and only Morning Mayor, Bob Miller. You know the voice. The laugh. The stories. The legend. It’s the reason Frederick gets up and gets informed.

Bob’s been the king of morning talk in Frederick for 30+ years, holding down the WFMD fort for 27 of them. A proud Frederick County native, his roots run deep—son of the legendary local vet Doc Miller, raised on a 180-acre beef farm, and yes, he really did show cattle across the country. (Moo included.)

His resume is impressive, his humor even better. Senior class president and class clown at Walkersville High (Class of 1980), Bob also helped launch the school’s first-ever football team—the gritty “Mean 19.”

Off the mic, Bob’s a proud husband to Lynda (30+ years strong), a dad to Erin and Bryan, and a super-proud granddad to little Kaelyn.

Bob’s known radio was his calling forever, with stops at major stations in Baltimore and D.C. But Frederick is home, and every morning he brings his voice, wit, and community-first perspective to Free Talk 930 WFMD. He’s joined by great local guests all week to cover what’s happening in and around Frederick County, plus national reporters from Fox News Radio to break down what’s happening across the country.

As Bob’s mom says: “At least now I can finally turn him off.”
