NEW PHILADELPHIA – The second annual Shannon Wigfield Scholarship Breakfast will be March 14 at Buckeye Career Center. The proceeds from the breakfast will support the Shannon Wigfield Scholarship through the Buckeye Career Center Foundation, which awards a $2,500 scholarship to a deserving BCC senior.
Wigfield taught at BCC for 24 years. She died in a November 2023 bus crash involving the Tusky Valley band and chaperones.
The breakfast, from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at BCC, 545 University Drive NE, will include doughnuts from area shops, plus fruit and yogurt parfaits. A silent auction also is planned.
Tickets for the breakfast are $10 and are being sold in advance. Walk-in tickets will be available until sold out the morning of the event. Children 2 and younger will receive a free meal.
