Competing for a Cause

The second annual golf tournament was held at Rock Hill Golf Club in Manorville, NY on September 16th, 2025. The highly anticipated event sold out in advance with proceeds benefiting The Spark Foundation.

Amy Silva-Magalhaes, Chief Operating Officer of Ultimate Care Management and President of The Spark Foundation shared, “This isn’t just about financial aid; it’s about showing our people that they are part of a community that stands by them, no matter what. Your contributions provide relief, stability, and most importantly, hope.

The Swing for Hope Annual Golf Outing remains The Spark Foundation’s largest and most impactful event, thanks to the incredible generosity of sponsors, enthusiastic golfers, and active raffle participation.


The Spark Foundation’s Impact

Over the past year, the foundation’s resources have made a tangible difference in the lives of several employees across the organization. Among those helped were a team member who lost their family hope to a devastating house fire, a team member navigating a family emergency overseas, and a team member whose child required urgent transportation to a specialized hospital in another city due to a serious illness.

These acts of generosity were made possible by the incredible donors, many of whom work in the communities. The foundation continues to thrive thanks to ongoing support through company fundraisers like the annual golf tournament, community-led initiatives, and payroll deduction options available to employees. Together, these donations create a safety net that truly makes a difference when it’s needed most.

The enthusiasm surrounding the second annual golf tournament highlighted the deep sense of camaraderie and community of The Spark Foundation. Organizers and supporters alike acknowledge the funds raised ensure that employees facing life’s unexpected challenges will continue to receive timely, compassionate support.
