The B & B Legacy Scholarships awarded seven $1,000 scholarships through the STEP Foundation this year to graduating seniors who previously attended B & B High School.
The 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 added 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.
