The tournament originally was scheduled to be held in mid-May, but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Festivities begin at 7 a.m. with registration and a continental breakfast.

“The Golf Tournament has become one of The Arc Baltimore’s biggest annual fund-raisers, contributing nearly $100,000 each year toward programs and services to support people with developmental disabilities to live independently, have meaningful jobs and friendships, and participate as active citizens in the community,” says Kathleen McNally Durkin, the organization’s Chief Executive Officer.

“The generosity of our golfers and a host of corporate sponsors – including our title sponsor, Scientific Plant Services – enable us to help people with disabilities find jobs in the community, live as independently as possible, and live more fulfilling lives,” Durkin continues.

Participation in The Arc Baltimore’s 26th Annual Golf Tournament is $200 for individual golfers and $800 for foursomes.

In addition, a wide range of sponsorship opportunities, all of which provide benefits to maximize exposure for your company and interaction with other companies involved, are available, beginning as low as $250.
