8th Annual Bob Bell Golf Tournament

Bob Bell Automotive is proud to announce the successful completion of its 8th Annual Bob Bell Golf Tournament, held this September at the esteemed Chartwell Golf & Country Club.

This year’s tournament was more than just a day on the green—it was a powerful demonstration of community, generosity, and shared purpose. The event brought together 142 golfers, valued sponsors, and dedicated supporters, all united in their commitment to making a difference.

We are especially proud to share that the tournament raised an outstanding $88,199 in support of There Goes My Hero, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing hope, help, and healing to individuals and families impacted by blood cancer. This contribution will go directly toward advancing their mission and supporting those in need.
