Brian Albert Cornelius Bonnick Scholarship
Brian Albert Cornelius Bonnick Scholarship Fund was created to carry on the legacy of the late Brian A.C. Bonnick who died suddenly at the age of 21 years. My Beloved Son had a God given talent to create, inspire, and motivate others. Brian believed heavily in community outreach and the importance of networking. Therefore, this scholarship funds will be used to sponsor children who are less fortunate to pay for books, lunch, and school tuition.
Thank you for your support in continuing my Beloved’s legacy.
