Dr. Patrick Buddle has been a quiet but indispensable presence on the sidelines of Manasquan High School football since 1986, ensuring the safety and health of Warriors athletes for four decades.

Eagan Memorial Award from the Manasquan Football Club, and the 2005 Physician Champion Award from the New Jersey Sharing Network. In 2011, the MHS Football Coaches honored him with the Vic Kubu Foxhole Award — a recognition of his unwavering presence in the trenches alongside the Warriors.

Dr. Buddle has also been a long-time advocate for organ and tissue donation, serving on the NJ Sharing Network Board of Trustees and as a member of the NJ State Joint Organ Task Force. Since 2014, he has served on the Advisory Committee of the Manasquan High School Health Careers Academy.
