On Monday, May 12, 2025, Tee It Up for The Arc will return to Queenstown Harbor in Queenstown, MD. This annual golf tournament is more than just a day on the greens; it’s an opportunity to support children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families while enjoying a premier golf experience. With breathtaking waterfront views, top-tier hospitality, and an incredible after-party, Tee It Up for The Arc is an event you won’t want to miss.
Registration for the tournament includes breakfast, lunch, unlimited drinks throughout the day, exciting activities on the course, and a ticket to our highly anticipated after-party. The after-party will feature delicious local food, craft beverages, live music by the Timmie Metz Band, and the much-anticipated 50/50 raffle drawing.
Making an Impact Beyond The Course
Tee It Up for The Arc is celebrating its 27th tournament this year and has seen remarkable growth in recent years, raising over $225,000 last year. The tournament’s evolution has been driven by passionate leadership and unwavering community support.
“Tee It Up for The Arc has grown so much in recent years,” said Ben Harries, Past Tournament Chair. “We expanded to Queenstown Harbor and have consistently sold out both courses year after year. The demand and enthusiasm from our community has been incredible, and it directly impacts the lives of so many children and families.”
All proceeds from Tee It Up for The Arc benefit The Arc’s Children, Youth, & Their Families program, which ensures that children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have access to resources, support, and opportunities that empower them. Funds raised from the tournament directly support the program’s key initiatives and infrastructure, including Project Learn and Family Navigation.
“This event is about more than golf—it’s about making a difference,” said Steve Smollon, Tournament Chair. “Every year, we see firsthand how the funds raised through Tee It Up for The Arc provide life-changing support to children with disabilities and their families. Whether it’s helping a child access critical therapies, ensuring a family gets the advocacy they need, or bringing joy during the holidays, the impact is real. That’s what keeps us coming back, seeing the tangible impact on families and knowing that each sponsorship and donation contributes to building a stronger, more inclusive future.”
Opportunities to Support Tee It Up for The Arc
Last year’s tournament saw a sold-out event with 72 foursomes and a waitlist of eager participants. Tee It Up for The Arc consistently sells out, and this year is no exception, with only a handful of foursomes remaining.
