ROCK-A-THON RAISES $1,400 FOR LOCAL VETERANS IN MOULTRIE

TIFTON – The Student Leadership Society at the Moultrie campus of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College raised $1,400 from its inaugural Rock-a-thon event. The funds were presented to the Colquitt County Veterans Activity Committee representatives.

The ABAC on the Square event was held in memory of Sgt. Steve McCoy, a Moultrie native who died as a result of wounds he received in a roadside bomb attack in southern Baghdad. His wife, Tabitha, is a student at ABAC on the Square.

Dr. Kay Powell, Alice Slocumb, and Tabitha McCoy presented the funds to retired Col. and Mrs. Hoyt Holland.
