(July 20, 2017) The sixth annual Mary McMullen Memorial Golf Tournament set for Aug. 4, has sold out for the fourth consecutive year.
Organizer Tim McMullen said the tournament is still seeking hole sponsors and donations, including gift cards, from area businesses for use in a silent auction.
His late wife, Mary McMullen, who passed away in 2012, was a special education teacher at Severna Park High School and Ruth Eason School. She was a founder of the Ocean Pines Youth Program, an administrator at the Maryland School for the Deaf and president of the Old Mill Booster’s Club.
Proceeds from the tournament, held each year at the Ocean Pines Country Club, will be awarded to organizations, including the Pulmonary Hypertension Association, Our Brother’s Keeper, Seton Keough High School, Holy Angels Catholic School and Camp St. Vincent De Paul.
The nonprofit Mary Mac Foundation also sponsors two scholarships for special education students established in Mary McMullen’s name at Severna Park High School and plans to sponsor a student at the Good Samaritans School in Haiti.
“Our foundation is really geared toward young children and people will special needs,” Tim McMullen said. “We’re very interested in making sure that every kid has a good summer experience. We’re involved with St. Vincent De Paul’s summer camp in Baltimore, we’re involved with Camp Barnes, which is located in Bethany Beach, and we are also involved in Diakonia in the Berlin area.”
McMullen said the Ocean Pines community has been tremendously supportive. This year the tournament will also welcome more than 60 people from Anne Arundel County, largely teachers and coaches who plan to participate in the tournament in Mary McMullen’s honor.
In total, he said 130 people will participate in the tournament and almost 200 are expected to attend a luncheon at the yacht club.
“I think they understand Mary’s gifts as a special educator,” Tim McMullen said. “People have long memories and I’m very gratified to see the support we get.”
McMullen thanked his older brother, Don McMullen, and his sister, Susan Wojciechowski, for their part in the event.
