Our Story —
A Legacy Built
on One Wish

From a memorial golf tournament to a thriving 501(c) charity, this is how one boy's dream became a mission that has touched hundreds of lives.

Just Cause Charity – Our Story
1991
FoundedJustin Clark Memorial

From One Boy's Wish,
a Movement Was Born

The Just Cause Charity 501(c) started in 1991 as the Justin Clark Memorial in honor of Justin Gregory Clark who, at the early age of 8, lost his hard fought battle with cancer. Justin had only one wish — to visit the Wonderful World of Disney and to experience the most magical place in the world.

Justin had only one wish — to visit the Wonderful World of Disney and to experience the most magical place in the world.

For the past 25 years, the Justin Clark Memorial has hosted a golf tournament to benefit various charities, including the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Due to the success we have officially become the Just Cause Charity 501(c) 46-2924401.

We are continuing to help make wishes come true by raising funds for three fantastic charities that have not only touched our families, but countless others. This year we are pleased once again to join forces with Make-A-Wish MN and Crescent Cove.
