VIP Destin at Hilton Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort
T
he Sacred Heart Foundation hosted its 16th annual Charity
Golf Classic at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and
Spa on Sunday, May 7. This year’s party included live music,
heavy hors d’oeuvres, a little social mingling, as well as a live
and silent auction. Monday, the event would continue kicking off the
tournament at the Emerald Bay Golf and Beach Club.
Master sponsors for the event were The Howard Group, Howard
Hospitality, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, and Grand Boulevard Town
Center. This year’s tournament will feature local golf pros competing
against one another while paired with each foursome in a scramble
format. So get on the green and support your community’s hospital,
Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast.
Since 2002, the Sacred Heart Charity Golf Classis has raised more
than $3 million for various expansion efforts, including the Olson
Women’s Diagnostic Center, The Family Birth Place, The Judy & Steve
Turner Heart, Vascular Center and Cancer Center and is currently
fulfi lling a pledge to the Second Century Campaign, which is expanding
the Emergency Department. In support of this endeavor, the Charity
Golf Classic committee will direct the proceeds from this signature
fundraising event over the next three years to support the Emergency
Department expansion.
Tickets for the event were $50 for individuals and $99 for couples.
