andy Sansing Dealerships and Premier Island Management Group sponsored the Brunch & Bubbles
fundraiser, benefiting Gulf Coast Kid’s House on May 19, at Portofino Island Resort. Guests were invited
for a spectacular champagne brunch provided by local chefs from the area’s favorite restaurants. Live music
was provided by the talented John Ripley, and attendees were encouraged to enjoy the afternoon by sipping
endless brunch cocktails, and bidding on silent and live auctions of “experience” packages which were hosted
by Brent Lane. Unique to this year was a new chance to win called “A Gem in a Stem,” exclusively at Brunch &
Bubbles, provided by a partnership with Beré Jewelers. The honorary chair for the event was Jim Reeves. Several
prominent members of the community attended this function, all in support of Gulf Coast Kid’s House.
Gulf Coast Kid’s House, Inc (GCKH) is the only child advocacy center and child abuse prevention center serving
as both a physical center for the coordinated response to child abuse and the facilitating agency for the Escambia
County Multidisciplinary Team.
