Buster Brown Bean Company, purveyors of cappuccinos, espressos and assorted pastries and sandwiches for hungry SUNY Fredonia students and staff, is establishing a scholarship fund to benefit those very students who work behind the counters.
David Culver, ’02 (Speech Pathology) and Gregory Wollaston, ’96, (Theatre Arts), who operate the chain of six eateries, are establishing the Buster Brown Bean Company Scholarship Fund to help full-time students who work for them defray tuition costs. The fund’s goal is to award at least one $400 scholarship each year. The company presently employs about 35 students.
“The main point for Greg and me in establishing the scholarship was to give back to the campus and the community. We both started here, we’re both alumni, and it’s really great for us to be back and be a part of Fredonia again,” Culver said.
Culver (shown at left) and Wollaston recently adopted a baby girl, Lily Mira, born July 1, 2009. All three will also appear in an upcoming episode of HGTV’s “Dear Genevieve” in early 2010.
