The Togie Fund
The Togie Fund honors Charles "Togie" Wayne Payne Sr. Established by his children; Charlie, Frank and Julia, in memory of their dad's passion to provide opportunity to youth in the area he loved.
Togie was active in his community, from his days playing little league then basketball and baseball at Stafford Senior High School to refereeing high school games and serving on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors. He owned the local small business "Togie's Dugout" and was an avid sports fan and collector.
One of his kids recalls their father's friendly, compassionate spirit captured in Togie's sentiment, "if you are having a bad day, go and do something for someone."
This fund will provide grants that open opportunities for students in our community. The Togie Fund firmly believes in providing equal opportunities for every student to access necessary equipment and participate in recreational programs, regardless of their financial circumstances.
