State Rep. Kendell Culp (R-Rensselaer) honored Al Breyfogle with a House District 16 Declaration on June 3, recognizing his long-time dedication to community service and volunteerism.
Breyfogle was named the 2026 HJ Halleck Community Service Award recipient by the Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce last month for his selfless service to local communities and efforts to improve the area. He has contributed time, energy, and resources supporting local organizations, youth programs, schools, small businesses, fundraisers, and community events.
“There is no better representative for the ‘better together’ motto of the Pulaski Chamber of Commerce than Al,” Culp said. “He is the embodiment of what it means to be a community servant and wholly deserving of this recognition.”
Breyfogle is a Hobart High School graduate involved in the Winamac football program as an Athletic Booster and volunteers at the high school. After losing his wife and son, he began presenting an annual Spirit of Sports Award to a local high school athlete. Together with his daughter, Breyfogle created “A Day of Giving” in memory of his family members; this initiative has provided homeless care packages, “Bravery Bags” for foster children, supported food pantries, sponsored children’s programs and more.
A House District Declaration is awarded locally to Hoosiers in House District 16 who serve their communities with distinction and positively impact others.
