B & B Legacy (includes Roy Heiman Memorial) Scholarship Fund

Profile

Established in 2006, the B&B Legacy Scholarships are a result of a challenge presented to the St. Benedict and Baileyville communities and alumni by Dr. August Bergman during the 2006 graduation ceremony. Thus, began the fundraising to match Dr. Bergman's seed money of $25,000. During the fundraising, another graduate Albert Wietharn offered an additional $25,000 if the communities would match his gift. Both challenges were met, and the $100,000 was exceeded. The B & B Legacy Scholarships became a reality due to the dedication and generosity of the alumni and communities of St. Benedict and Baileyville.

The B&B Legacy Scholarship Fund (Roy Heiman Memorial Scholarships) will continue for several more years due to the generous donation of $30,000 given in 2019 by the Leroy "Roy" Heiman family in his memory.
