Overview
Growing up on the Southside, Patrick J. Bonnema’s dream was to attend Brother Rice High School to play baseball, but he was one of nine children and his parents could not afford to send him. When Patrick passed away in 2019, his wife Margaret and his children decided to honor his memory by making his childhood dream a reality for a family in need at Brother Rice. In turn, Margaret McNicholas, Brittany Sullivan, Collins Bonnema, and Bree Bonnema established the Patrick J. Bonnema Scholarship Fund to assist families who might need financial help to send their sons to Brother Rice.
