An amazing local family with big hearts is continuing their tradition of hosting an annual softball tournament to benefit local families suffering a painful loss they know about all too well. On April 4th, 2017, Shawn and Sierra Williams lost their daughter, Burklee Ann, while 30 weeks pregnant. During that difficult time, Brody’s Fund, the non-profit that helps families financially after a miscarriage or stillborn, stepped up to relieve some of the financial stress of their loss. Full of gratitude, the Williams began talking about fundraisers they could be part of to contribute to Brody’s Fund in order to help others. Less than a year later in December, the Williams lost another baby girl during pregnancy. Even though they were heartbroken, they still invested the time and loving energy into organizing the Ballin’ 4 Burklee softball tournament fundraiser and Raffle for Rozee to benefit Brody’s Fund. The Williams recently delivered the $9,000 dollar check to Uintah Basin Healthcare from last year’s tournament and now are in full gear planning this year’s tournament which will take place May 20th and 21st at the Roosevelt Constitution Park.
