BOONE, N.C. – Brett and Wendy Hoge are both Appalachian State University alums, Class of 1999. App State holds a special place in their hearts, as well as the hearts of their two daughters.
Ahead of their recent generous gift in support of App State Athletics, they spent more time than usual talking to each other about the opportunity because of how much the University and Athletics missions mean to them. They also have more than proven their commitment to the university and High Country in their leadership relief efforts since Hurricane Helene.
"We needed to do this together because we're both involved in this," said Brett, who works as a financial advisor for The Hoge-Barrett Group of Truist Investment Services, Inc.
