The 10th annual Howard L. House Memorial Golf Tournament, hosted by First Community Bank, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 1, and Sunday, Aug. 2, at The Course at Eagle Mountain in Batesville. Proceeds from the milestone event will once again benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center of Independence County.
Now in its 10th year, the tournament has become one of north central Arkansas’ premier charitable golf events. What began as a tribute to the life and values of Howard L. House has grown into an annual tradition that has united golfers, businesses, volunteers and sponsors around a shared commitment to protecting children and strengthening families.
“Ten years is a significant milestone, and it’s one that belongs to this entire community,” said Dale Cole. “Every team that has played, every sponsor that has contributed and every volunteer who has given their time has helped build something that extends far beyond a weekend of golf. Together, we’ve created a lasting tradition that continues to support children when they need it most while honoring the life of a man who cared deeply about serving others.”
The Children’s Advocacy Center of Independence County, which opened in 2018, provides a safe, child-focused environment where children who have experienced abuse can receive forensic interviews, advocacy and coordinated services in one location, according to a press release. Part of a national network of more than 700 centers, it is the 17th Children’s Advocacy Center in Arkansas serving children in Independence, Izard, Stone, Sharp and Fulton counties.
