“We are incredibly grateful for all of our dedicated community sponsors who help us create a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve,” shared Bello Machre President & CEO, Dr. Robert Ireland. “Our Annual Golf Tournament stands as a staple in Bello Machre’s history now spanning over 40 years. It has not only raised vital funds for our programs but also fostered a strong sense of community and connection among our amazing supporters.”
Bello Machre provides lifelong, compassionate support for people with developmental disabilities, all made possible by the support of our fantastic sponsors. A big thank you to our Lead Sponsors, SCLogic and Tential, who each donated $25,000 to our Golf Tournament.
Other generous community partners include Cattail Construction who donated $7,500 along with Absolute Fire Protection, The Murray McGehrin Group, Shore United Bank, and Skyline Technology Solutions each contributing $5,000.

This event is all about coming together for a common purpose and making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.”
We could not have held this amazing community gathering without the support from our stellar volunteers and gracious vendors. Queenstown Harbor Golf Course provided our golfers with a clean and accommodating venue that everyone enjoyed throughout the day. Our delicious refreshments and post-golfing meal was made possible thanks to the talented staff of Salt & Pepper Barbecue Flipn’ Bowl. Our friends at ASAP Printing are responsible for the beautiful Bello Machre-branded coolers, shirts, signs, and many more items that were located around the golf course.
