More than a decade ago, Jack Saum launched the Beltway Companies Golf Outing with a simple but important vision: create opportunity, invest in people, and give back to the communities that helped build the company. What began as an endowed scholarship initiative with St. Mary’s College of Maryland focused on mentorship, workforce development, and supporting deserving students while helping introduce the next generation to an industry that impacts everyday life. As Jack shared during the early years of the outing, the goal was to “positively impact the lives of deserving students and our community.” Over time, the outing evolved to further reflect our mission and core value of Community Involvement. What began as a scholarship initiative grew into a broader commitment to supporting local organizations, workforce development programs, schools, food insecurity initiatives, and charitable causes throughout the communities Beltway Companies serves. As highlighted on the Beltway Companies Corporate Responsibility Page, that commitment took on even greater meaning during Beltway’s 45th Anniversary in 2022, when the company expanded its focus on encouraging employees to actively participate in and support causes within their own local communities. Today, the golf outing represents far more than a single event –– it reflects years of partnership, mentorship, and sustained community investment. None of it would be possible without the continued support of the customers, sponsors, vendors, employees, and donors who have stood behind the outing throughout the years and helped transform a scholarship initiative into a lasting culture of giving back.

A Tradition of Impact, Built on Long-Term Community Commitment

Baltimore, MD – September 22, 2025 — Beltway Companies, the leading provider of transportation services across the Mid-Atlantic region, proudly announced that its 13th Annual Charity Golf Outing raised $147,000 this year, pushing its cumulative total to more than $1.25 million in charitable contributions since the event’s inception.

Held each September, the outing brings together over 150 participants—customers, vendors, employees, and charity representatives—for a day centered not just on competition, but on sustaining the work that transforms communities. “This event isn’t about a single day on the golf course—it’s about making sure the work continues the other 364 days of the year,” said Jack Saum, CEO of the Beltway Companies. “We see firsthand how these organizations change lives, and their progress fuels us to keep showing up.” Saum also emphasized that the event’s staying power stems from long-standing partnerships: “What inspires us as much as the impact is the commitment,” said Jack Saum. “Many of our donors and sponsors have stood with us since the beginning—showing up year after year to prove that real community is built over time.” Beltway’s charitable efforts extend beyond this annual event, encouraging employees to lead their own initiatives—from food drives to mentoring programs—that directly serve their communities. The company sees these efforts as a core value of their culture.
