Barnes talks about how to register for the event, “They need to contact Kellie Payne at our office and her number is (435) 636-3708. They can but dinner tickets and concert tickets separately. Not everyone is a golfer and we recognize that so we want to reach out to the community. Those tickets are $30.00 adults, $15.00 for children – it’s a very family friendly event to attend.” Individuals who wish to attend the concert only are looking at tickets for adults is $20.00 and $5.00 for children.

This is both for men and women because it happens to both, mainly women, there are some men that suffer from this as well. But they take these funds and support those victims sometimes its with housing, food, they try to help them get employment,” explained Hopes. The organization offers support and services to survivors and families affected by domestic violence.
