In 2017, the Trudy Bogese Endowment for Youth Development helped 33 kids from Prince George County go to summer camp, including the entire Prince George Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team. The Endowment was created by B.J. and Chuck Patton to honor B.J.’s mother, Trudy Bogese, who led an inspirational life and devoted much of it to the youth in her community.

The 2017 Bogese Campership recipients pose for a group photo with two of Trudy Bogese’s granddaughters, Lindsey Patton (left) and Becky Patton (right).

  In 2017 the Endowment awarded $5,125 in “camperships” to students from J.E.J. Moore Middle School, N.B. Clements Junior High School, and Prince George High School. Congratulations to all of our Trudy Bogese Campership recipients!
