My Nonprofit Reviews

Quigley House had a golf tournament last week. It is typically a fun way to raise money and to receive a brief bit of information about domestic violence and Quigley House's staff and volunteer commitment to the people it serves.
There was a last minute golfer that was added as a fill in for another golfer who could not play.
What no one knew was that this golfer had a traumatic event in his life that exposed him to the heart break of domestic violence. This man owns the buffet restaurant where recently a man came in and threw a liquid on a waitress and set her on fire. As this woman was burning, the people who were there watched helplessly as this man's employee was screaming in pain. He was traumatized by What happened and by his helplessness to help his employee.
When he was asked to fill in at the tournament it helped him feel he could do something to help others who are victimized by abuse at the hand of an intimate partner. He also received information about domestic violence that he had never heard before. This man left the tournament with a commitment to help and with some healing from his own secondary victimization.
This is an example of why I am proud to be a volunteer board member of Quigley House. Quigley House has an active part in our community. We serve victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. At the same time Quigley House staff and volunteers are in this community telling citizens about our services and giving good information about domestic violence and rape.
