Another summer of fundraising is officially in the books here at MARC, Inc. of Manchester!
This year, our Summer Concert Series and 27th Annual Charity Golf Tournament provided two perfect opportunities to bring members of the community together, connect through live music and sports, and raise funds for MARC's programs and services.
Together we raised a total of $109,000 directly supporting MARC's services and programs, which shows just how much your contributions can make a difference!
Summer Concert Series
Our 2026 Concert Series brought live music back to the MARC campus for another season. Individuals, families, friends, volunteers, and community partners joined us throughout the summer for great music, good company, and quality time with those who feel like family.
We kicked things off with Piano Man Meets Rocket Man, kept the energy flowing with Aquanett, and wrapped up the series with Shaded Soul Band. Each performance brought something unique to the stage, giving everyone a little something to enjoy throughout the summer months.
This year's concert series raised $38,000!
A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Pratt & Whitney; Mission Sponsor, Hartford HealthCare - Manchester Memorial Hospital; and T-shirt Sponsors, Trinks Brothers Oil and Peoples Bank.
Their continued support helps us bring these summer traditions to life while making a difference that spans far beyond the final performance.
27th Annual Charity Golf Tournament
As the final notes of summer faded, the excitement continued on the green!
One of our favorite traditions was right around the corner: MARC's Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the Manchester Country Club.
This year, over 115 golfers joined us for an incredible day of golf, contests, local food/drinks, raffle prizes, and more. Whether out on the course or lending a helping hand behind the scenes, everyone played an important role in making the day one to remember.
We raised a total of $71,000 all because of YOU!
We are especially grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Tzedakah House and our Mission Sponsor, Empire Industries for their ongoing support and continued commitment to MARC over the years.
The day was an overwhelming success thanks to our golfers, volunteers, sponsors, and donors! We couldn't have asked for a better way to end the summer fundraising season.
Each concert attended, sponsorship, raffle ticket purchased, and round of golf played, contributed to something bigger. These moments of community support help us continue to create meaningful opportunities, build connections, and make a lasting impact on the lives of the individuals we support.
As we transition from summer into fall, we’re reminded of the incredible community that surrounds MARC and stands beside us year after year.
We are continually grateful for the families, friends, and supporters whose generosity, encouragement, and commitment help make MARC the organization it is today!
