Bello Machre proudly announces it raised more than $100,000 at Every Step Counts 2013. The event, held June 8 at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, was attended by more than 300 people who walked and biked on a route around the college. The proceeds benefit children and adults with developmental disabilities served throughout central Maryland by Bello Machre.
Dr. Robert Ireland, president and CEO, said, "What an amazing day for Bello Machre and the folks we serve. With the help from our friends, families, business associates and employees - this year's Every Step Counts 2013 was the most successful ever!"
The event brought together friends and family, children and adults. Everyone enjoyed the walk and bike, moon bounce, Lulu the Clown, live music by Medora, children's games and prizes, raffles, and great food.
