The Arc Baltimore Will Hold Its 32nd Annual Golf Tournament on May 11

Tee-Up to Support Adults and Children with Developmental Disabilities

The Arc Baltimore will hold its 32nd Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, May 11, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

Proceeds from the Annual Golf Tournament, which last year topped $60,000, help to fund programs and services offered by The Arc Baltimore to support adults and children with developmental disabilities and their families.

To be held at The Country Club of Maryland (1101 Stevenson Lane, Towson, MD), the tournament features a shotgun start at noon, preceded by registration and a putting contest at 10:30 a.m. and a pre-golf lunch beginning at 11 a.m. Cocktails, a BBQ dinner, and the annual silent auction will follow the close of the tournament.

“The Annual Golf Tournament is one of The Arc Baltimore’s longest running fundraisers,” says Kathleen McNally Durkin, The Arc’s Chief Executive Officer. “Whether you’re a seasoned golfer, learning the game, or playing just for fun and camaraderie, every swing you make helps to support the programs and services we offer which enable people with developmental disabilities to live independently, work in meaningful jobs, and enjoy friendships and activities in the community,”

Since 1949, The Arc Baltimore has supported people with developmental disabilities to lead fulfilling lives with a sense of belonging, purpose, and meaningful relationships. The Arc’s vision is a world where all people are valued, their voices are heard, and their impact is felt. With more than 600 full- and part-time employees, The Arc Baltimore provides employment training and support, day and residential services, family support and education, treatment foster care, assistive technology services, respite care, and public policy advocacy.
