All proceeds from Emerald Coast Boat Week and Poker Run go to the recipient children’s charities of the Emerald Coast Foundation. This event was started 27 years ago to help the youth of our local area have a chance at a brighter future. Without the ECF, these kids would go without, and that is not acceptable to us.
As of Boat Week last year, the Emerald Coast Foundation has raised over $2.5 million dollars for our local kids in need. What an impact! This is a volunteer run event. There are no paid employees. Every penny goes to the kids. We do it out of love and dedication to our community and our kids. Please join us for the one and only ORIGINAL Emerald Coast Poker Run! Help us help the kids who need it most.
