TAB Bank to Host Charity Golf Tournament to Raise Funds for Homeless Assistance Programs in Utah

TAB Bank will host the 22nd annual Ogden Rescue Mission Charity Golf Tournament on Sept. 8 at Wolf Creek Resort in Eden, UT. All proceeds will go to the Ogden Rescue Mission to help individuals experiencing homelessness to reach goals of sobriety, employment and housing.

The Ogden Rescue Mission is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides housing, food, life skills and employment services for homeless individuals in northern Utah.

This year’s goal is to raise an event record of $40,000. Since 2001, the tournament has raised $510,000 to benefit the Ogden Rescue Mission, which was enough money to provide 200,000 meals to the less fortunate in communities in northern Utah.

“We look forward to the golf tournament every year here at TAB Bank,” Trevor Morris, director of marketing at TAB Bank, said. “The event gives us an opportunity to support one of northern Utah’s most critical organizations while having fun with neighbors and colleagues on the golf course.”

Since 1964, the Ogden Rescue Mission has served the homeless and indigent by providing services that meet spiritual, physical, emotional, educational, social and mental wholeness needs. The organization provides a new life recovery program to help people overcome life issues. For those experiencing homelessness who don’t need recovery services, the organization’s transitions program provides stability and a pathway off the streets and into housing and employment. In addition, the organization provides additional services, including overnight shelter, three daily meals, hygiene, a phone message board, Bible studies, faith-based recovery meetings and chapel services.

Funds are raised during the golf tournament through player foursomes and golf tournament sponsorships. Sponsors, foursomes and volunteers are needed to reach the fundraising goal. Contact Morris if you would like to provide a donation or participate in tournament fundraising for the Ogden Rescue Mission.

“While fundraising is a group effort, the money donated to the Rescue Mission helps people one at a time,” Judy Doud, director at the Ogden Rescue Mission, said. “We are grateful to TAB Bank for hosting this tournament every year to fund our life-changing services and spotlight the needs of the homeless in northern Utah.”
