Former Buckner Philanthropist of the Year Passes Away

She was named Buckner Philanthropist of the Year in 2005 and has contributed more than $1 million to Buckner in support of programs for vulnerable children and families.

“Ms. Hamon was a generous person who cared for many in our city,” said David Slover, president of Buckner Foundation. “She had a tender heart and was quick to respond to the plight of vulnerable children and fragile families in need. The endowment fund she established has created a legacy of support that will forever provide educational opportunities for children and single parents as they aspire to independence.”
