ABOUT THE BOB FERRY ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC

Thanks to a generous donor, in 2023 the Boys & Girls Club of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County named its annual Golf Classic in honor of Bob Ferry.

 

As a former NBA player and General Manager of the 1978 World Champion Washington Bullets, Bob was not only a basketball legend but an active member of the Annapolis community who cherished his involvement with the Boys and Girls Club of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County.

 

Bob’s life was built on a foundation of meaningful relationships, and at BGCAA he had many friendships. Embracing diversity and thinking outside the box were values close to Bob's heart. He had an extraordinary ability to see the best in people from all walks of life. He believed in showing up for people and treating them with respect. His legacy lives on through the countless individuals he inspired to follow his philosophy, which emphasized being there for friends, family, and community, especially in times of need.

 

The Bob Ferry Golf Classic commemorates Bob’s remarkable achievements and celebrates the enduring legacy of his wisdom, values, and great sense of humor, which continue to shape the lives he touched. His legacy is a testament to the profound impact that positive relationships, community engagement, and the celebration of diversity can have on young lives—an enduring legacy that aligns with the mission and values of the Boys & Girls Clubs.
