Emerald Coast Parrot Heads Chili Cook-Off Brings the Heat! Chili Masters came to compete and our community showed out to eat at the Annual Emerald Coast Parrot Head’s Chili Cook-Off. Known for their “Party with a Purpose” mission, the Emerald Coast Parrot Heads once again made this party’s purpose about The Arc of the Emerald Coast. All proceeds raised go to support the Arc Emerald Coast’s mission, “From Disability to Capability”, as we serve men, women and children of our community with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The support from the Emerald Coast Parrot Head’s and our community is essential to the The Arc of the Emerald Coast’s success in continuing to provide needed services to the over 450 individuals in Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton Counties. Emerald Coast Hospice Supports the Emerald Coast Princess Ball Matched with a passion to help those who cannot help themselves, Emerald Coast Hospice honors The Arc of the Emerald Coast with a check from the 2018 Emerald Coast Princess Ball. Over the past four years, Emerald Coast Hospice has been the top sponsor of The Arc of the Emerald Coast’s event, The Emerald Coast Princess Ball. This event is a father-daughter style dance and dinner for girls 2-14 years of age and holds the hearts of couples in attendance and our community. With the growth and popularity of the event, the 2018 Princess Ball was pleased to find a new home at Northwest Florida State College in Niceville. The space allowed the ability to accommodate more fathers and daughters. Along with Emerald Coast Hospice, generous sponsorships from Twin Cities Hospital, B -Boy Productions and Southern Belle Photography of Destin make this a magical night. We are pleased to announce that the money raised from this years Princess Ball exceeded every year before. As always, the proceeds from this event go to support the Arc’s mission “From Disability to Capability”. The Annual Emerald Coast Princess Ball takes place the 3rd Friday in May.
