In case you missed Century 21 Blue Marlin on the Destin Business Forum:

As a member of the Destin Chamber of Commerce, Century 21 Blue Marlin has the opportunity to be on the monthly Destin Business Forum with host and Chamber President, Shane Moody.

Check out our spot on the Destin Business Forum here, as we discuss our affiliation with Century 21, expansion into the commercial market with Pure CRE, our talented agents and our 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament!

So far, this year has been the best yet in terms of growth! We are proud to be able to grow along side the members of our communities along the Emerald Coast.

In February, we celebrated our affiliation with Century 21 with nothing short of a great party! As we announced ourselves to the community as Century 21 Blue Marlin, Century 21 Corporate helped us celebrate and participated in our tri-ribbon cutting with local chambers, including the Destin Chamber of Commerce, Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce. 

Shortly thereafter, we ventured out onto the commercial real estate limb and affiliated with a local company, Pure CRE, in April. This merger allows our team to help commercial growth in our market and assist current businesses find larger spaces that will enable them to continue to grow.

The affiliation with an internationally known brand and the addition of a commercial segment has helped our company grow tremendously. With nearly 50 agents, we are continuing our growth and development as well as the growth and development of our community!

As one of the area's fastest growing real estate and vacation companies, Century 21 Blue Marlin continues to seek new realtors as well as homes and condos throughout the Emerald Coast to expand their vacation rental inventory. For more information, contact Johnathan Hughes or Jerry Sullivan at (850) 837-7800.

In addition to growing our team, we have been preparing for our biggest event of the year - our 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament! We kicked off the fundraising in June with a Pre-Tournament Toast where we announced Silver Sands School as this year's beneficiary. Many local businesses stepped up to sponsor the tournament, but we are still seeking hole sponsors! If you are interested in sponsoring a hole or would like to find out how you can be involved, email Bre@ProffittPR.com.

Century 21 Blue Marlin announces 4^th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

Proceeds to benefit the Silver Sands School

Century 21 Blue Marlin will host their fourth Annual Charity Golf Tournament on Friday, October 7, 2016, at Regatta Bay Golf and Yacht Club.

Proceeds will benefit the Silver Sands School, a Special Day School which provides educational services to students who because of their mental functioning levels require services beyond those offered by other special educational programs in regular schools. Silver Sands School, located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, serves approximately 170 students with disabilities ranging in age from 3 to 22 from Okaloosa and Walton counties.

“Having toured Silver Sands School last year we instantly felt a need to give back,” said Century 21 Blue Marlin Co-Broker, Jerry Sullivan. “It means a lot to us to give this amazing school the recognition it deserves.”

The tournament will begin with registration at 11:00 a.m. and a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m.  Entrance fees are $150 for individual players or $500 to sign up a foursome. All tournament players will receive complimentary meals, cocktails, and an after party and awards ceremony following the tournament at the Regatta Bay Clubhouse. The tournament and after party are open to the public. Golfers can register a team or individually at Century 21 Blue Marlin’s Destin office at 607 HarborBoulevard or at the Regatta Bay Clubhouse.

Currently in its fourth year, the Annual Charity Golf Tournament was founded by co-brokers Johnathan Hughes and Jerry Sullivan in an effort to give back to the community. Started in 2013, the tournament raised a total of $12,002.32 for the Mary Lynne Burnett Memorial Foundation, which provides scholarships to Okaloosa and/or Walton county high school students that have shown dedication to their education in spite of challenging circumstances such as the loss of a parent, major illness, etc.  

In 2014, $15,087.00 was raised for The Taylor Haugen Foundation, created to honor the memory of the 15-year-old Niceville High School student who passed away after an injury sustained during a football game on August 30, 2008. The Taylor Haugen Foundation provides grants, education and funding to athletic teams, schools and districts through its YESS (Youth Equipment for Sports Safety) Program. The Foundation also recognizes and supports outstanding scholar-athletes with scholarships and awards. 

Most recently, the 2015 tournament raised $16,938 for the Emerald Coast Golden Retriever Rescue (ECGRR), a 501c3 non-profit organization focused on providing medical care and finding loving homes for Golden Retrievers and other lab breeds that have been abandoned, abused or surrendered. The ECGRR covers the entire Panhandle of Florida west of Tallahassee.
