The community spirit of Southern Frederick County will shine bright on May 15, 2025, as the Rotary Club of Southern Frederick County invites all to participate in the much-anticipated Service Above Self Charity Golf Tournament at the picturesque Worthington Manor Golf Club in Urbana, Maryland. This annual event has become a cornerstone for charitable giving, blending a day of golf with a mission to give back to local and global causes.
Over the years, the charitable proceeds from this tournament have profoundly impacted a variety of organizations. Notable beneficiaries include What Would Stew Dew?, Blessings In a Backpack, Distinguished Young Women, and Sleep in Heavenly Peace, which are all dedicated to improving lives and communities across the area. In 2025, part of the funds raised will specifically target community organizations and projects aligned with the Rotary's mission of service, amplifying the positive change they aim to foster.
Kelly McQuillen, who chairs the event and is a past president of the Rotary Club, expressed his excitement regarding this year’s tournament: "Each year, we witness the generosity and commitment of our community coming together for a great cause. This tournament is more than just a day of golf—it's an opportunity to give back and support programs that make a real difference in people's lives." His words echo the passionate spirit that ignites this event annually.
Adding to the enthusiasm, Dr. Mary Jo Anderson, the current president of the Rotary Club of Southern Frederick County, emphasized the club's dedication to its motto of "Service Above Self." She stated, "The funds raised will directly benefit those in need, ensuring that our club continues its mission of creating positive change not only in Urbana but also beyond its borders." This reflects Rotary’s broader commitment to improving communities through dedicated service.
The Rotary Club warmly invites community members, local businesses, and golf enthusiasts to join in this charitable endeavor. Not only will participants have the chance to enjoy a wonderful day on the greens, but their involvement will directly contribute to life-changing programs that address pressing needs in the community.
