Title sponsors for the Aug. 12 event, Exelon and Four Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning, and a sold out crowd of 156 golfers attended the event in support of victims of domestic violence.

β€œWe are moved by the generosity of our participants, sponsors, vendors, committee members, and the many volunteers who made this possible,” said Chris Beele, special events coordinator for the Crisis Center. β€œDespite the unseasonable cool temperature and cloudiness the guests enjoyed everything from the challenging contest holes and prizes, sangria on the course provided by Cooper’s Hawk, and the delicious dinner served in Silver Lake Country Club’s clubhouse; overall it was a terrific event.”

The Dianne Masters Cup is named in honor and memory of the late Dianne Masters, who founded the organization in 1979. The Crisis Center for South Suburbia’s mission is to provide emergency shelter and other essential services for individuals and families victimized by domestic violence and address the societal issues that contribute to domestic violence.
