Hammond Services Participates in Golf Tournament for Injured Officer Joe Buice

March 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Joe Buice, a Spalding County Deputy, is recuperating after being shot in the face with an assault rifle January 29, 2010 while on duty in Griffin, Georgia. Deputy Buice has high hopes for a speedy and full recovery. A golf tournament to benefit Joe Buice was held on February 24th at Morgan Dairy Golf Club.

Hammond Services was one of the many sponsors that participated in this community effort.  Hammond also put together a 4-man team for the golf tournament fund-raiser for Deputy Joe Buice. This team from Hammond Services consisted of David Hammond, Bill Ward, Ed Hammond, and Kirk Nixon.

Despite the very cold weather on Wednesday, the golfers and well-wishers showed up in great numbers to show their support for the officer. Joe was presented with a check for $19,000, and it is estimated that the final total was well over $20,000. Our community shows again and again that it strongly supports the men and women who serve to protect and defend us.
