Joseph Bullick Scholarship Fund

The Joseph Bullick Scholarship Fund was established at The Pittsburgh Foundation to benefit students in the North Allegheny School District which he served for so many years in memory of two important women in his life. One of those women was Kathleen Fitzpatrick, who gave Joe a stable home from ages four to 10 after being shuffled between several foster homes. It is also in memory of Joe’s mother, Elizabeth Evans, who cared for him after her marriage to George Bullick in October 1941 until her untimely death of pneumonia on Nov. 27, 1941.
