The Fund for Bogalusa was established in October of 1999 as a Donor Advised Fund by Larry and Ginger Paddock through the Baton Rouge Area Foundation.

Contributions go directly toward projects that improve the quality of life in the Bogalusa area.

Twiley, Marie and Bringier Barker Scholarship Fund

The Twiley, Marie and Bringier Barker Scholarship Fund will award up to five (5) $1,000 Scholarships at the end of every school year. Graduating seniors from the Washington Parish and Bogalusa City School Systems are eligible to apply.

Twiley Barker Sr. and his wife Marie Hudson were pioneer educators in Washington Parish. Mr. Barker served as teacher, principal, and supervisor; and Mrs. Barker served as an elementary teacher and a piano teacher. Of their six children, all but one became a teacher at the public school or university level. The one who was not a teacher became a registered nurse. The family’s dedication to, and their support and reverence for education are known throughout Washington Parish, the state, and beyond.
