Ty Patterson Memorial Scholarship Gets Support

Over 500 people attended the Ty Patterson Memorial Scholarship fundraiser in Seguin this past Saturday evening. Game Warden Patterson died in the line of duty almost a year ago when he drowned while trying to recover a flood victim in the Paluxy River. Congressman Henry Cuellar spoke and presented a flag to the Patterson family.

Representative Edmund Kuempel also spoke and handled auctioneering, and Rep. Charlie Geren also attended. The event raised funds for a scholarship program to help young people who reside in the Seguin area pursue law enforcement careers.

Donations can be made by mailing checks made out to TGWA, with a notation that it’s for the Ty Patterson Memorial Scholarship to the Texas Game Warden Association, P.O. Box 1930, Kyle TX 78640.
