On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, representatives from Pace-O-Matic and our Texas-based Lone Star Skill team, including Andrew Camplen, DJ Scott, and Blake Hoffman, attended a fundraiser hosted by the Professional Police Officers Association (PPOA) of Odessa, Texas.
The event honored the memory of Officer Bailey Martin, who tragically lost his life along with his fiancée, father, and stepmother during the devastating Kerrville floods earlier this month. Funds raised went toward covering funeral expenses for Officer Martin and his family.
The fundraiser, coordinated with PPOA President Jon Foust, brought together members of the Odessa Police Department, Odessa SWAT, the Ector County Sheriff’s Office, the Odessa School District Police, and other regional law enforcement agencies. Over the years, our team has built strong relationships with many of these departments, and this event served as a moment of unity and remembrance.
“This is a true showing of love. With this donation, we will exceed the goal and have Bailey’s funeral expenses covered,” said PPOA of Odessa President Jon Foust.
Pace-O-Matic and Lone Star Skill partner with locations and operators in several of the impacted areas in Texas. In addition to supporting the fundraiser for the fallen officer, Pace-O-Matic has supported the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Hope for Heroes Texas – two organizations working on the ground to assist first responders, victims, family members, and the community as a whole.
Pace-O-Matic is committed to standing beside the communities we serve, not just in business, but in times of hardship. We thank all those organizations that are working tirelessly to aid communities on-site. We continue to pray for Texas during this time of devastating loss.
