The Bishop William H. Bonner Scholarship Fund was created by Bishop Bonner's granddaughter to ensure his legacy of love and giving continues. Bishop William Haven Bonner was born in 1921 in Arkansas. In 1942, he married the love of his life, Dorothy Mae Green, and the couple had four children. In 1949, Bonner moved his family to Aurora, Illinois and established the Greater Mount Olive Church Of God In Christ. In 1982, Aurora Mayor Jack Hill renamed the street the church is on to Bonner Avenue. Bishop Bonner won several awards and accolades, including an honorary doctorate from the Trinity Hall Theological Seminary, and the Bishop William H. Bonner Park in Aurora was named in his honor. He was a pastor for seventy-two years and will be remembered for his constant giving. One of his favorite phrases was, "Giving is receiving."
