About Kim Patton

Kim Patton and her husband, Barratt, have been longtime supporters of IU’s Camp Brosius -- a summer family camp in Elkhart Lake, Wis. Barratt Patton has been an annual visitor to the camp for more than 50 years, first going in 1959 when his father, an IU geology professor, took the entire family for a visit. Kim, who accompanied Barratt to Camp Brosius in 1973, the year the couple married, also fell in love with the entire camp experience. The Patton's contribute substantially to Camp Brosius, understanding the impact of contributions on the facility’s property and upkeep, and believe the camp generates goodwill for Indiana University. A retired UPS pilot, Mr. Patton maximized the couple’s giving by leveraging matching UPS gifts for several years.
