Announcing the 1st 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. Of course, the OVFD will always need additional members, specifically however, the current need of the department is a new ambulance. Where does the $350,000 needed for this new apparatus come from? People like you and me! Yes, that is correct, nearly all monies required to purchase all new apparatus comes from the generosity of yourself and those around you. 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?!
