Announcing the 3rd Annual Big Al’s “Gone Fishin’” Tournament to Benefit the Oxford Volunteer Fire Company
Why should I support this effort?
Because the Oxford Fire Department is in need. Think for a moment, the more you donate, the safer you will be. If an emergency were to strike, chances are the people arriving to assist will be 100% volunteer who rely solely on our generosity for safe, modernized equipment engineered to save lives and property efficiently. Without donations safety does not exist.
‘Big Al’ Ledford, the man known for his unending service and selflessness, was a lifetime member at OVFD serving as both a Fireman and an EMT. He served the department from 1976 until the day he was called to serve in heaven, January of 2020.
Fishing and Firefighting, Big Al’s two passions, are what brings us together today. What better way to give back than to raise money, have fun and do it all in the name of a man who gave us his everything?!
Completed registration forms and payment can also be dropped off at Doc's Sunset Grille
Many thanks to our generous sponsors!
