Pope donates watch to benefit Wisconsin foundation’s scholarship program

On display at the Nicolet Bank in downtown Green Bay, Wis., Nov. 23, is a Swatch watch and a photo of Pope Francis wearing it. The pope donated the watch to the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation for its “Once Upon a Time Collection” capital campaign. The collection of watches once “owned and worn by an individual who has made a difference in the world” will be auctioned online in 2022 to raise money for national and international scholarships awarded by the foundation.
