The 2024 Hundred Hole Marathon will be completed in memory of our beloved past chairman and friend, Ed Tancer  and beloved board member Eddie Allsopp.  Again, this year, we will have a "Team Tancer"  and "Team Allsopp" where those who knew them would come together and raise funds for the children we serve in honor of Ed and Eddie.  We are thrilled to be able to honor each of these incredible men and raise additional funds in their names.

Format:         

- Each golfer commits to raising a minimum of $3,000

- Two-Member team format with a volunteer driving the golf cart for each golfer; Each golfer hits the alternate shot. There could even be a team of four, where two members golf the first 50 holes and the second two members golf the remaining 50 holes.

- Goal is to have approximately 24 golfers

- Host the event at a course on the day that it is closed to members/guests; in the past our golfers have played around the grounds crew

- Start Time: 9 AM – End Time: Approximately 3-4 PM

- Food Provided: Breakfast, Course Snacks & Drinks, Boxed Lunch and cocktails at the end of the day.

Objective:     Each golfer commits to raising funds (a minimum of $3,000) through donations and pledges. The day of the event, the golfer (along with a partner) will play 100 holes of golf. They alternate shots and will have a volunteer caddy (in a cart) driving the golfers and transporting their clubs from hole to hole. The caddy will assist in providing their appropriate club, distance location of the ball, and keeping our golfers hydrated and fed. They play an important role in this process. Our approximately 20-24 golfers and volunteers start the day with a breakfast and then get on the course in the morning and end anywhere from 2-4 pm. Volunteers will distribute lunch on the course and we finish the day with a celebratory drink . 

To date, Bella’s Angels has raised over $705,000 in the ten years of this unique fundraiser. Our fundraising goal is to raise $70,000 in 2024. Though it is a tough day, it is so rewarding to know that you are walking in the shoes of our Buddies and helping to provide financial support. 

About Bella’s Angels: Bella’s Angels is a grassroots 501(c)3 organization founded in 2005 originally in an effort to help Bella Cavallo, who had mounting medical expenses when diagnosed with C.H.A.R.G.E. Syndrome. Today, our mission is to financially assist local children with life-long physical disabilities, beyond what insurance covers. Bella’s Angels seeks to fill the gap for families who have insurance and do not qualify for federal funding or may not have the means to financially care for their child’s expenses. We support families who have children in our local area ranging in ages from 0 til 17 years old. To date, we have assisted families with their child’s mounting medical expenses by providing financial support for medical related travel, equipment, therapy, medical co-pays and other expenses related to their disabilities. For the first six years, Bella’s Angels mirrored their event after the 100 Hole Hike.
