Description
The Debra Wegman Grant is administered by the Shiawassee Community Foundation through its Fall Grant Cycle. It assists programs focusing on healthcare, education, arts and theatre, community improvement, ministry and spiritual enrichment, beautification, youth programs, senior programs, and other unmet charitable needs. Water-related beautification projects receive particular emphasis within the fund’s stated purpose.
The fund was established by Debra’s husband, Dr. Patrick Wegman, and son, Patrick Wegman II, on the tenth anniversary of her passing. It commemorates her life and gives back to the community that supported their family. The Foundation serves Shiawassee County, and the fund’s broad charitable scope encompasses health, learning, cultural activities, and community life.
