The Bensalem Economic Development Corporation (BEDC)<\/a> is announcing $13,250 in giving for local nonprofit organizations that serve the Bensalem community \u2013 all raised by local golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and community leaders at the Bensalem Township Country Club on June 3 for the 20th Annual Charity Golf Challenge.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the event will benefit 12 local nonprofit organizations that provide vital services to children, veterans, families, individuals in recovery, food-insecure residents, animal welfare organizations, and others throughout the Bensalem community. This year\u2019s beneficiaries are Libertae Bensalem, Police Activities League, Relay For Life Bensalem, United for ALICE, Tifereth Israel Food Pantry, Love Tabernacle Food Pantry, Gary Sinise Foundation, Women\u2019s Animal Center, Rescue Purrfect, Sunshine Foundation, Bensalem Little League, and a STEM Scholarship at Bensalem High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event continues to demonstrate what can happen when the local business community comes together to support its neighbors,\u201d said Al Gougler, Chairman of the BEDC Board of Directors. \u201cEvery sponsor, golfer, volunteer, and donor played an important role in helping us raise funds that will directly benefit organizations making a difference right here in Bensalem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Participants enjoyed a full day of golf on the country club\u2019s 18-hole, par-70 championship course, beginning with brunch before a noon shotgun start. The tournament concluded with cocktails, a buffet dinner, awards, raffles, and prizes, giving attendees plenty of opportunities to network while supporting a meaningful cause.<\/p>\n

Former Pennsylvania State Senator Tommy Tomlinson served as honorary chair for this year\u2019s tournament, while Faulkner Automotive Group returned as Presenting Sponsor.<\/p>\n

Golfers also competed in a variety of on-course contests throughout the day, including the chance to win a 2026 Buick Envision with a hole-in-one, while raffle prizes and pro shop gift certificates added to the excitement.<\/p>\n

Now in its 20th year, the Charity Golf Challenge has become one of the BEDC\u2019s signature annual events, bringing together the business and nonprofit communities while generating critical funding for organizations that strengthen the quality of life throughout Bensalem. The BEDC extends its sincere thanks to all of this year\u2019s sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and supporters for making another Charity Golf Challenge a tremendous success.<\/p>\n
