Colleen Ritzer Scholarship Fund Set Up at People's United Bank

The fund will provide scholarships for students from Danvers High School.

A scholarship in memory of Danvers High math teacher Colleen Ritzer, who was murdered earlier this week, has now been established at People's United Bank.

You can send checks to Colleen Ritzer Scholarship Fund, People's United Bank, 1 Conant St., Danvers MA 01923, or just stop by your local branch to make a donation.

Donations will be used for scholarships for students from Danvers High School.

Students at a candlelight vigil for Ritzer Wednesday night told CBS Boston they were gathering donations with a bunch of small pink ribbons they made that afternoon. Pink was Ritzer's favorite color. They called it Ribbons for Ritzer.

They said they planned to give the money raised there to Ritzer's family in hopes of starting a scholarship.
