Richard and Marla Bretches have already included Pittsburg State in their estate plans — but they didn't want to wait to make a difference ❤️

That's why they established the Richard and Marla Bretches Kelce College of Business Endowment Scholarship to support today's students! As the first person in his family to earn a college degree, Richard credits his Pitt State business degree with launching a successful career. Now, he's paying that opportunity forward for future Gorillas.

Thank you, Richard and Marla, for choosing to invest in our students today and for your lasting commitment to Pitt State🦍
