The Arc Southern Maryland to host 16th annual golf fundraiser
Pat Collins Golf Classic to be held June 15th at Chesapeake Hills Golf Course

The Arc Southern Maryland will hold its 16th Annual Pat Collins Golf Classic on June 15th at Chesapeake Hills Golf Course. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. The tournament includes a chance at a hole-in-one prize of $10,000, sponsored by The Gott Company, a continental breakfast, a lunch catered by Adam’s Ribs, door prizes and raffles.

The tournament is held in honor of Pat Collins, a former board president for The Arc. Collins worked tirelessly for years to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Southern Maryland. “The Arc Southern Maryland sponsors this tournament as a living memorial to my father,” said John Collins, son of Pat Collins. He continued, “Those who serve as sponsors, players and supporters allow The Arc to carry on the mission to which my father was committed.”

“Our annual golf tournament continues to be our most successful fundraiser each year thanks to the support of our community. We are so grateful to our supporters for enabling us to continue to create opportunities for people with diverse abilities,” said Terry Z. Long, CEO of The Arc Southern Maryland. “Last year, we were proud to add a team of the individuals we support, making this a truly inclusive event,” said Long.

Tournament proceeds will be used to support The Arc’s services, including their residential program which provides safe and supportive housing for people with IDD, their vocational program which helps people with IDD to obtain and retain jobs, and their transition programs which provide essential skills and hands-on career exploration for high school students to be successful as they transition into careers or continued education.

The Arc Southern Maryland would like to recognize the sponsors that have already offered their support through this event – The Gott Company, Community Bank of the Chesapeake, PSA Insurance & Financial Services, Scott Mellinger, ALCO Pharmacy, SMECO, & Dr. Amin of Lexington Park Family Dentistry.
