At the Phillip J. Campas (PJC) Legacy Project, we are deeply committed to honoring the values that defined the life and service of Phillip J. Campas. It is with great pride that we announce our $2,500 donation to the Devil Pups of Kern County, a program that aligns perfectly with our mission of fostering leadership, discipline, and citizenship in young people.
The Devil Pups youth leadership program offers participants the opportunity to grow into strong, confident individuals by overcoming challenges that build confidence, courage, and resilience. The values taught within this program—discipline, teamwork, and a strong sense of responsibility—echo the same principles Phillip embodied as a U.S. Marine.
During the 2024 Devil Pups Award Show, the PJC Legacy Project presented this donation, believing in the power of programs like Devil Pups to positively impact the lives of young people in our community. These funds will help support future participants, ensuring that more youth can experience the life-changing lessons this program offers.
One of the highlights of this year’s program was the involvement of Phillip, who volunteered his time and expertise, drawing on his background as a U.S. Marine Drill Instructor. Phillip was able to guide the Devil Pups, instilling leadership and discipline while encouraging them to push beyond their limits. His personal dedication to the program serves as a living testament to the mission of the PJC Legacy Project, which seeks to inspire and uplift the next generation of leaders.
We are honored to continue Phillip’s legacy by supporting initiatives like Devil Pups of Kern County, which cultivate the same spirit of resilience and leadership that he lived by. It’s through these efforts that we ensure Phillip’s values continue to inspire and shape the future, one youth at a time.
