BUTLER A legacy scholarship established Dec. 17 to honor the memory of Caitlyn Kaufman has exceeded $13,000 in the weeks following the shooting death of the 26-year-old Butler County Community College nursing graduate.
Approximately 37 individuals and organizations through Dec. 31 contributed a combined $13,035 to the fund commemorating Kaufman, a 2018 BC3 graduate who was killed Dec. 3 on her way to work as an intensive care unit nurse at St. Thomas West Hospital in Nashville, Tenn.
The Caitlyn Kaufman ’18 Legacy Nursing Scholarship would reach an endowment level when funds surpass $15,000, according to Ruth Purcell, who retired Dec. 31 as executive director of the BC3 Education Foundation, which will administer the scholarship.
