The family of Brittany Zimmermann established a scholarship fund Tuesday in honor of the slain UW-Madison student.
Dollars for Brittany"" will act as a tribute to Zimmermann's life and ""beautiful heart,"" her aunt, Kim Heeg, said in a family statement.
""Brittany wished for everyone to have the opportunity to obtain a college education regardless of their financial standing,"" Heeg said.
""In the days since Brittany's tragic death, we have searched our hearts for answers that we may never receive. We are grieving her death and we are grieving the future events that we will never celebrate with Brittany.""
Heeg said one event the family will not celebrate with Zimmermann is her UW-Madison graduation in the fall.
""Anyone who knew Brittany knew of her love for learning and her ambition and dedication to help others.""
All donations should be sent to the ""Dollars for Brittany"" scholarship fund, care of the Marshfield Medical Center Credit Union, 302 W. Upham St., Marshfield, Wis. 54449.
