Beach-Rigau Scholarship

The University of Wisconsin-Parkside and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Foundation announce a second major gift of more than $100,000 from Racine residents David Beach and Carmen Rigau. The donors established the Beach-Rigau Gift of Music Endowed Scholarship in 2017 with a gift of $112,000 which was doubled thanks to a matching fund established by Frances M. Bedford. On June 5, 2018, Beach and Rigau celebrate the additional gift to support students in UW-Parkside’s music program.
