At the 2026 Bo’s Effort event, Greg Cummings spoke with Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment, about why he continues to return to the tournament year after year. Greg noted that Adam was a familiar face at the event, and Adam shared that his connection to the day has grown over several years of support.
“Yeah, I’ve been here a few years, probably four or five years already.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
Adam also pointed to the strong relationship between Long Home and Monumental Sports and Entertainment as one reason the event has stayed important to him. His words showed that this was not just another outing on the calendar. It was a trusted event tied to a strong partner, a strong family, and a cause people believe in.
“Long Home is a great partner of ours at Monumental Sports and this is an incredible tournament and event, so I love being a part of it.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
That repeat support shows the deeper power of the mission. People do not keep returning only because the event is well run. They return because they feel connected to the family, the story, and the purpose behind it. Over time, this Maryland mental health awareness nonprofit has become a place where partners, sponsors, friends, and supporters can stand together for mental health awareness and community care.

Through this conversation, Greg Cummings helped show why partnerships matter in the home improvement space. Strong partnerships are not only built on business value. They are also built on shared trust, shared purpose, and the choice to keep showing up for causes that help people.
Greg Cummings’ rapid fire conversation with Adam Hordell brought a strong outside view into why the mission keeps growing. Adam, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment, shared that he has been part of the event for four or five years. That repeat support gave his comments weight because he has seen the day grow over time.

What stood out most was not only the size of the event. It was the reason people continue to return. Adam pointed to the family, the organization, the cause, and the feeling people have once they become part of it. His view showed that the Bo’s Effort Golf Tournament has become more than a yearly outing. It has become a trusted place where partners, friends, supporters, and sponsors gather around a mission they believe in.
Adam also spoke about Long Home as a valued partner of Monumental Sports and Entertainment. That connection helped show how strong business relationships can also support strong community work. When a partner believes in the family and the cause, the event becomes more than a place to attend. It becomes something people want to stand behind.
The conversation also showed why the mission has grown from a smaller gathering into a larger community effort. People do not keep coming back only because the event is enjoyable. They return because they feel part of something real. They see the care behind the day. They trust the people leading it. They understand that this mental health charity in Anne Arundel County is helping bring more attention to mental health awareness and support.
Adam’s words gave the overview a simple and powerful meaning. Once people experience the family, the cause, and the community behind the event, they want to stay connected. That kind of loyalty is hard to build, but it is one of the clearest signs that the mission is doing something right.
When Greg Cummings spoke with Adam Hordell at the event, the first thing that stood out was Adam’s history with the day. He was not a new guest. He had returned for several years, which gave his words the weight of someone who had seen the mission grow over time.
“Yeah, I’ve been here a few years, probably four or five years already.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
That kind of repeat support says something important. People do not come back year after year unless the cause feels real to them. Adam’s presence showed that the event has created more than a moment of interest. It has created loyalty.
For a Maryland mental health awareness, that loyalty matters. It shows that the people who attend are not only guests. They become part of the wider circle of support. They return because they believe in the family, the story, and the work being done for mental health awareness.
Adam also connected his support to the strong relationship between Long Home and Monumental Sports and Entertainment. That part of the interview added a clear business and community layer to the story.
“Long Home is a great partner of ours at Monumental Sports and this is an incredible tournament and event, so I love being a part of it.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
His words showed how trusted partnerships can help a mission grow. When business partners believe in the people behind a cause, they bring more than a name or a logo. They bring trust, reach, and steady support. That support helps more people learn about the mission and gives the event a stronger place in the community.
This is why partnerships matter so much. A family led mission can start close to home, but the right partners can help it reach far beyond its first circle. They help carry the story to new people, new groups, and new places where mental health awareness still needs more attention.
When Greg asked why the event had grown so much, Adam made a clear point. The event is strong, but the cause behind it is even stronger. He did not talk first about golf, food, weather, or turnout. He talked about the family, the organization, and the reason people gather.
“I mean, it’s a great family, great organization, great cause. They put on a great event, which is secondary to all those other things.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
That answer helped explain why people trust the event. A great experience matters, but it only lasts when the purpose is clear. People enjoy the day because they know it is tied to something deeper. They are not only playing golf. They are standing with a family and helping a cause that speaks to many homes.
That is the strength of the charity breaking the stigma of mental illness. It gives people a reason to gather with joy while still supporting a serious need. The event brings people in, but the mission is what keeps them there.
Adam’s strongest line came when he explained why people continue to support the mission after their first experience with it. His answer was simple. Once people are in it, they become loyal.
“I think once people are in it, you’re loyal to it, so you want to keep participating and supporting.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
That line captured the heart of the interview. Strong community support is not built by asking people to attend once. It is built by making people feel part of something real. When people feel that connection, they want to return. They want to give again. They want to invite others. They want to keep helping.
This is how a mental health charity in Anne Arundel County can build lasting support. It creates a place where people feel welcome, needed, and tied to the mission. Over time, that feeling becomes trust, and trust becomes long term support.

Greg also asked Adam why the event had grown from a smaller gathering into something much larger. The question pointed to the scale of the day, but Adam’s answer pointed to the reason behind that growth.
“What stands out the most to you over the years from when it was maybe just 50 people to now? I mean, I don’t even know how many hundreds of people are here now, but why do you think it’s grown so much?” Greg Cummings, CEO of Power100
Adam came back to the same truth.
“I mean, it’s a great family, great organization, great cause.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
Growth like that does not happen by accident. It comes from people having a good experience and believing the mission is worth sharing. They return with friends. They talk about it with partners. They stay connected because the trust behind the event keeps growing.
That kind of trust also gives the mission room to support more work, including care, resources, and mental health scholarships for high school seniors in Maryland. As more people believe in the cause, the mission can continue to reach more families and support more local needs.

Near the end of the interview, Greg shifted the conversation toward what Adam was excited about next. Adam spoke about the Washington Wizards and the energy around what is ahead. It was a lighter moment, but it added a human close to the conversation.
“If you’re talking about work, I’d have to say the Wizards.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
Adam also pointed to the team’s new direction.
“Great acquisitions, everyone picking the draft, so that’s probably what I’m most excited about.” Adam Hordell, Director of Media Sales and Partnerships at Monumental Sports and Entertainment
That moment showed another side of why partnerships matter. They are built by people who carry energy, hope, and belief into the spaces they serve. Adam’s work in sports and media is tied to connection, community, and momentum. Those same ideas were present at the event.
For home improvement leaders, the lesson is clear. Strong partnerships last when they are built on trust and shared belief. They grow when people see value in the cause and feel proud to keep showing up.
Adam Hordell’s interview closed on a clear message about why strong causes last. People return when they feel connected to the family, the purpose, and the trust behind the work. After four or five years of attending, Adam’s continued support shows that this event has become more than a place to visit. It has become a place people want to keep standing behind.

That kind of loyalty is built over time. It grows when the people behind a cause lead with care, when the event feels real, and when supporters can see that their presence matters. Adam’s words showed that the family, the organization, and the cause are the reasons people stay close to the mission.
For home improvement leaders and business partners, this story offers a simple lesson. Strong partnerships are not built only through business deals. They grow when people share values, trust one another, and choose to support work that helps the wider community.
As the mission moves forward, its strength will continue to come from people who feel part of something real. When a cause is led with trust, care, and purpose, people do not just show up once. They stay with it, help it grow, and keep coming back because they believe in what it stands for.
Power100 covers the people, partners, and stories that show how leadership works beyond normal business lines. Adam Hordell’s voice matters because he shows how a strong partner can see the value of a family led mission from the outside. His repeat support helps readers understand why this event keeps earning trust across business, sports, media, and community circles.
Power100 looks at influence through more than company size. A story like this shows how home improvement leaders can build trust through real relationships, strong partnerships, and community work. Adam’s comments help show why long term support can be a sign that a mission has earned respect beyond its own industry.
Adam did mention that Long Home is a great partner of Monumental Sports and Entertainment, but his answer went beyond business. He said he loves being part of the event because of the family, the organization, and the cause. That shows his support is tied to trust and belief, not only a business connection.
Repeat attendance matters because people do not keep returning unless the mission feels real. Adam said he has attended for four or five years. That kind of loyalty shows that this Maryland mental health awareness nonprofit has built a strong connection with supporters who want to stay involved.
Adam made the opposite point. He said the event is great, but the family, organization, and cause come first. That means the golf experience supports the mission instead of replacing it. The event gives people a place to gather, but the cause is what keeps them connected.
People become loyal because the event feels personal, trusted, and meaningful. Adam said that once people are in it, they want to keep participating and supporting. That shows the Bo’s Effort Golf Tournament Queenstown Harbor is not only a day of golf. It is a place where people feel part of the mission.
The mission supports mental health awareness, resources, and education. Bo’s Effort shares mental wellness resources for the community and supports scholarships through partners like Scholarships for Scholars and Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center. That gives the work a real path beyond the tournament.
Business partners should care because strong partnerships grow when they are tied to shared values. Adam’s support shows that a mental health charity in Anne Arundel County can bring people together across business, sports, media, and community life. When a cause is trusted, partners do not just show up once. They stay with it.
