r. Bawa and Associates Destin hosted the Eat, Drink, and Be Giving silent auction for the Destin High 
School on February 7. From 5-8PM, guests made their way through the lovely spa and offices located 
at the Regatta Commons, filled with Destin High School students guiding the way to each of the 100 
auction items worth over $30,000. Ellen Brown, Miss Destin 2018, even made an appearance to welcome 

guests and enjoy the evening with students. Something for everyone, the silent auction boasted local art, vacations 
and getaways, wines, shopping and much more with all proceeds benefiting the Destin High School. Stations were 
set for guests throughout the offices with delicious appetizers, drinks, and even a yummy chocolate fondue, all while 
listening to DJ Dan Collins. It was set up in a fun way to wander throughout the building while bidding on favorite 
items and finding the next appetizer station. 

The Executive Board of the Destin High School also wanted to make sure to send a huge thank you to all who 

helped with the auction and make it a successful and fun event, specifically Dr. Bawa and their talented team that 
made it happen.
