Blue Marlin Realty Group will host their second annual Charity Golf Tournament on Friday, Nov. 14 at Regatta Bay Golf and Country Club.
The tournament will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m. and a shotgun start at 11 a.m. Entrance fees are $125 for individual players or $400 to sign up a foursome. All tournament players will receive free lunch courtesy of Lenny’s Sub Shop.
Following the tournament is the after-party at the Regatta Bay Clubhouse with food donated by Landshark’s Pizza Co., a silent auction, raffle prizes and live entertainment. Following the after party, golfers and guests are invited to continue the festivities at La Paz off Holiday Isle. The tournament and after parties are open to the public.
Proceeds will benefit The Taylor Haugen Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides grants, education and funding to athletic teams, schools and districts through its YESS (Youth Equipment for Sports Safety) Program. The Foundation also recognizes and supports outstanding scholar-athletes with scholarships and awards. Started in 2011, Brian and Kathy Haugen created the foundation in memory of their late son, Taylor, who passed away from a football related injury in 2008.
“It is a matter of honoring Taylor and kind of continuing his legacy. We wanted to do something that would have a lasting impression to make a difference and protect children and parents from having to go through what we’ve had to go through,” Kathy Haugen said.
Co-Brokers of Blue Marlin Realty Group, Johnathan Hughes and Jerry Sullivan, are thrilled to coordinate the second annual event to benefit such an incredible local charity.
“We are excited to see how the event continues to grow each year and raise more funds for such amazing local organizations,” said Jerry Sullivan. “We raised over $12,000 at last year’s tournament and we are hoping to top that amount this year.”
Major sponsors include Beaches, Resorts & Parks, Bracken Law, Brightway Insurance, Carter & Company, Chi-Mar Construction, Clear Harbor Wealth Management, Cumulus Radio, Destin Magazine, Henderson Park Inn, La Paz Restaurante and Cantina, Landshark’s Pizza Co., and Lenny’s Sub Shop.
