I
t was all about the 80s, on the evening of January 28 at the ballroom
at Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa. The United way of
Okaloosa-Walton counties held its 18th annual dinner and silent
auction with a nod to everyone’s favorite decade – The 80s. United Way
also celebrated their Partner Agencies with a campaign check presentation
at the beginning as well as other recognitions throughout the evening. The
local band “Strange Brew” provided live music for the night, but additional
entertainment included a celebrity dance-off.
The mission of United Way is to give hope for a brighter tomorrow, and
bring caring people together to give, volunteer and take action to help people
in need, and to solve their community’s toughest challenges which was the
main purpose of the event. In light of that, a silent auction was held to raise
funds to help the communities they serve.
