Bon Bon Fund

Bonnie Heebner Wagner was a graduate of State College High School and Penn State University.  In 2004, when her daughter Emilie was only six years old, Bonnie was diagnosed with breast cancer. She bravely battled the cancer, beat it, and resumed living her life, never looking back. She was cancer free for nine years before it returned. Bonnie gracefully fought a hard, daily battle for her life that ended October 17, 2016, six months before Emilie's high school graduation. Emilie was left to navigate the maze of college and scholarship applications, all while trying to deal with her grief. The Bon Bon fund was established by friends and family of Bonnie to help other State College high school seniors continue their education while coping with the loss of a parent.
