This is the Emerald Coast Foundations mission statement for a reason. The Foundation has always been characterized by their common dedication & compassion to a cause that remains an especially worthy charity.
Through the 2009 Emerald Coast Poker Run, it was guaranteed to be a success this year. Approximately $92,500 was raised and donated to various local youth organizations. On behalf of the foundation; We would like to sincerely thank those who participated!
Without your help it would not have been possible to give the type of contribution that these programs require to run. Because of you, our youth will have a brighter future through productive experiences, encouragement, & opportunity.
This year the contributions went to the following charities:
- Eleanor Johnson Youth Center
- YMCA
- Boys & Girls Club
- Horizons
- Children in Crisis
- Florida's Sherriff's Youth Ranch
- The Emerald Coast Marine Institute
