4-H hall of fame honors Brundige


By Andi Anderson

Patricia Brundige, the largest benefactor in the history of Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), has been inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame. Brundige was recognized for her lifelong dedication to Ohio 4-H Youth Development, empowering young people through philanthropy, volunteerism, and leadership.

A lifelong supporter of 4-H, Brundige participated in the program as a youth in Franklin County. She later pursued a career in the food science industry while maintaining her commitment to community service.

For over 50 years, Brundige has supported Ohio 4-H through various initiatives, including establishing the Kunz-Brundige Franklin County Extension Building at Ohio State’s Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory.

Her financial support has provided scholarships, funded research, and helped enhance 4-H clubs, camps, and leadership programs throughout Ohio.

Brundige’s efforts have also supported underserved youth, ensuring that young people from all backgrounds have access to the educational opportunities provided by 4-H.

Brundige’s induction into the Hall of Fame highlights her passion for 4-H and her philosophy of “see a need, fill a need.”

Her hands-on approach includes volunteering at 4-H camps, serving on the Ohio 4-H Foundation Board, and contributing to programs like the Franklin County 4-H Walk & Serve.

Brundige’s legacy will continue to shape the future of 4-H in Ohio, ensuring that future generations of youth are given the chance to grow, lead, and give back to their communities.
