Boating for a Cause

The Emerald Coast Foundation’s annual Emerald Coast Poker Run is a boater’s dream event, with powerboats, fishing boats, pleasure boats, and other watercraft taking to the waterways around Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, and Pensacola. On Saturday, August 10, boaters navigate to designated stops along the route. The week culminates with a Poker Run Party featuring poker, blackjack, a silent auction, all-you-can-eat food, and an open bar to celebrate the memories made on the water.
