Buckingham Mighty Knight Support
Hello, Mighty Knight families! For the entire month of March, Ooka in Doylestown is again giving us a scrumptious way to support Bryan Rosica and his family. For those in our community who are newer and do not know the Buckingham Rosica story well:
Bryan Rosica was a teacher and counselor at Buckingham Elementary School in CB for 26 years. He was diagnosed in December 2020 with ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease), a neurodegenerative disease with no known cure. ALS care can annually exceed $200,000 and is not covered by insurance. Bryan and his wife Lisa have three amazing children and he has dedicated his life to being a loving father, husband, and active member of the community. Please help Ooka support the Rosicas, as 100% of EVERY purchase of the Rosica Roll will go to the family medical trust fund.
THANK YOU for your support of our Mightiest Knight!

This event is open to all Central Bucks students in kindergarten through sixth grade. This is a FUN, all-inclusive, kids-only event where students of all ability levels are encouraged to “TRI” something new and enjoy a GREAT experience with their peers. The triathlon will take place completely on the closed grounds of Central Bucks High School South where students will swim in the pool, ride their bikes in the parking lot, and run on walkways and the track to complete their event. Students from all fifteen elementary schools will be competing in this event, therefore students will be grouped based on their current grade level. All triathlon participants will earn a CB Kids Triathlon T-shirt and HUGE medal for completing the race. Also, awards will be given to the top finishers in each grade level.
