The Phil Niekro Golf Classic has become one of the most enjoyable and successful fundraisers in North Georgia. Each year, thousands of dollars are raised to help the Edmondson-Telford Center care for child victims of abuse and neglect in our community. Additionally, Red Clay president Lance Compton is a long-time Board member.
Unfortunately, child abuse and molestation is a plague in our society that continues to grow. And when a child has had to experience this horrible trauma, the last thing they need is to be taken to a cold, sterile environment like a police station for examination and questioning. Fortunately, Hall and Dawson counties have the E-T Center where children can be taken to a safe, home-like environment for medical and forensic examinations and interviews. Additionally, the Center serves as a resource for regional law enforcement agencies to work collaboratively when investigating and prosecuting the terrible crimes.
