For 27 years, our community has swung into action to keep families safer, gathering on the green to support victims of domestic violence at the annual YCC Family Crisis Center charity tournament. This year’s event, held on Thursday, July 30, at Wolf Creek Golf Course in Eden, brought together more than 30 sponsors and dozens of four-person teams dedicated to making a life-saving impact.

The golf tournament serves as a cornerstone event for the center, connecting local community leaders and businesses to the organization’s mission. YCC was founded in 1945 by five women in Ogden who recognized the need for support in the community for women struggling with post-World War II issues, single parenting, grief, loss, marginalization and limited job skills.

Today, this legacy continues through events like this annual tournament, which provides essential funding for YCC’s crisis intervention, advocacy and education services to help women, children and men impacted by family violence. The center serves people of all ages and provides 24-7 care to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, including a crisis shelter and child care.

By partnering with contributors like presenting sponsor Storm Bowling, the event highlights the strong community investment in fostering safety, advocacy and a hopeful road to self-sufficiency for those in need.

“All golfers were happy and excited to be part of a great cause, and none of this would be possible if it weren't for our generous sponsors, especially our presenting sponsor, Storm Bowling,” said Marianna Haaser, YCC marketing and communications specialist.
