The Zane State College Foundation’s Scholar-Donor Breakfast brought out all the feels this year with incredibly moving storytelling. This most joyous occasion provided donors and their deserving students the perfect opportunity to share a meal in a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
Tara Adornetto warmly welcomed a crowd of over 175 before ZSC President Chad Brown introduced the speakers. Student Speaker Hannah Johnson received a standing ovation from the group after delivering her uplifting and inspirational story about her life’s journey.
Don Wietmarschen of Gottlieb, Johnston, Beam, and Dal Ponte, P.L.L., delivered a message of hope and promise. His story demonstrates that hard work and believing in yourself can make all the difference.
Thank you to all donors for supporting our students, and congratulations to all scholarship recipients! This occasion was undoubtedly a highlight of this Homecoming Week. Here is a list of all the recipients and their respective scholarships.
