Swinging for Impact: Van Noy Valor Foundation Hosts Charity Golf Tournament at Black Desert Resort

June 2025, Ivins, UT –Under the sun-soaked skies of southern Utah, the Van Noy Valor Foundation teed off an unforgettable weekend at the stunning Black Desert Resort, bringing together donors, athletes, and community leaders to raise critical funds for foster and adopted youth.

Presented by Redmond Re-Lyte, a Utah-based wellness brand, the tournament featured 25 foursomes and spanned multiple days of connection, community, and purpose. From the lush fairways to the scenic red rock backdrop, every moment served as a reminder of what’s possible when people rally around a shared mission.

The highlight of the weekend was a special Q&A panel featuring Christian Wilkins, defensive tackle for the Las Vegas Raiders. His candid insights into perseverance, purpose, and giving back left guests inspired and energized to further the Foundation’s mission.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of sponsors and participants, the event raised over $130,000 to support the Foundation’s year-round programming—including mentorship, holiday givebacks like “A Very Van Noy Christmas”, and direct support for foster and adopted youth across Utah and beyond.

This tournament was more than a game—it was a gathering with purpose. We are grateful to every golfer, donor, volunteer, and partner who helped make this event a powerful success.
