The Mr. Bucks County Competition is a friendly contest where 12 gentlemen of Bucks County are selected to see who can raise the most amount of money for the non-profit chosen in any given year. The contestant who raises the most for the mission will be crowned Mr. Bucks County. This year all donations will go to Main St., formerly known as Pine2Pink, benefitting local cancer patients.

The MBC Competition is a joint effort created by Opus Elite owner, Mark Gatta, his neighbor, Gina-Maria Santoro, owner and operator of Giovanni’s Fine Fashions and business associate Chadd Levine of Superstar Lenders. One day while chatting on State Street in Newtown Borough they were brainstorming ways to raise money but in a much more fun and creative way. In that moment, the Mr. Bucks County Competition was born.

But stopping there would have been too easy for the entrepreneurs. They decided a secondary revenue stream would be an even better way to double their efforts and so the idea for the MBC calendar was created.

Each month of the calendar is sponsored by a different business, where a comical photoshoot highlighting the goods and services of the businesses will be performed by the extremely talented local photographer, Joe Dantone of Dantone Creative. The collection of photos will be used to create the annual MBC calendar and sold at local business and on the MrBucksCounty.com website. 100% of the profits will go direct to the non-profit selected for that competition cycle.

In the inaugural year the Mr. Bucks County Competition raised just over $65,000 with the help of our volunteers, contestants and sponsors. This year we are setting our goals a bit higher and hope to raise at least $75K but the sky is the limit.

Throughout the years, the business owners of Newtown have continually supported local non-profits in their efforts to raise money for organizations and individuals in need. It is the core of who we are as a community to not only support those sick or less fortunate, but to create a network of public leaders, residents and business owners to help in any way that we can. The Mr. Bucks County Competition is just another way we have banded together to support the 501(c)(3)’s of Newtown and the surrounding areas.
