Charity Golf Tournament

We are hosting our first annual Charity Golf Tournament on Friday, November 15, 2013 at Regatta Bay Golf and Country Club!

Proceeds benefit the Mary Lynne Burnett Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organization that awards college scholarships to graduating high school seniors in Okaloosa and Walton counties.  These students have faced significant adversities in their life, whether a loss of a family member, major illness or financial hardship due to unforeseen circumstances. One of our realtor’s, Doug Burnett, started the foundation in memory of his late wife, Mary, who passed away from breast cancer in 2008.

“The overwhelming kindness that was shown to my family throughout Mary’s battle truly inspired me to create the foundation,” said Doug. “I promised Mary I would repay the generosity of others by paying it forward.”

The tournament will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m. and a shotgun start at 11 a.m.  Entrance fees are $120 per person and $400 to sign up a foursome. All tournament players will receive a free lunch courtesy of Lenny’s Sub Shop.

Regatta Bay Clubhouse is hosting the after party with raffles and live entertainment featuring Donnie Sundal of Boukou Groove.  Both the tournament and the after party are open to the public.

Both of our co-brokers, Johnathan Hughes and Jerry Sullivan are thrilled to host an event so dear to the company's heart.

“We are excited to host our first charity tournament and hope to continue it as an annual event,” said Johnathan Hughes.

“We couldn’t be happier to support our own team member, Doug, by selecting the Mary Lynne Burnett Foundation as the beneficiary of our tournament.” said Jerry Sullivan. “It truly means a lot to us to know that the funds will benefit students right here in Okaloosa and Walton counties.”
