Building Futures Breakfast Supports Scholarship Fund More than 110 of Cleveland’s female leaders came together to support Saint Joseph Academy students, the next generation of female leaders, at the fifth annual “Building Futures Breakfast.” The event took place at the Union Club and was sponsored by Key Private Bank, Thompson Hine, University Hospital Cleveland Medical Center, Eileen Baugh Biehl ’75, P’14, Huntington National Bank and Luma Wealth Advisors. Tim Colburn P’10, ’12 & ’14 kicked off the breakfast, sharing his gratitude for the positive impact Saint Joseph Academy has had on his daughters. Aaleah Krone ’19 shared how much she values her education at Saint Joseph Academy and expressed gratitude to those that provided financial assistance that enabled her to attend.

Guests were invited to volunteer to host a student for her Junior Professional Shadow Experience or to speak to students in a women’s leadership class. The event netted more than $37,000 for the scholarship fund.
