Junior League of the Emerald Coast Hosts the Second Annual Toast on the Coast to Benefit the Child Clothing Project




The Junior League of the Emerald Coast (JLEC) will host their second annual Toast on the Coast fundraising event on Friday and Saturday, September 27-28, at Henderson Beach Resort to benefit a great cause while enjoying culinary delights from participating vendors. 

Proceeds from Toast on the Coast will go to benefit the Junior League of the Emerald Coast's mission and help support their community impact projects such as the Child Clothing Project which annually clothes 300-400 children in Okaloosa and Walton counties. Every ticket purchased will help dress a local child in need with the Child Clothing Project, one of the Junior League of the Emerald Coast’s most important causes.

“We are beyond excited to present the Second Annual Toast on the Coast at the Henderson Beach Resort. Our team has put together a fantastic collection of vendors and entertainment this year and it's sure to be an amazing experience not to be missed! This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year and helps support the JLEC mission and our Child Clothing Project.” says JLEC President, Waverly Garnand. 

“Beyond being an incredible night out, proceeds from Toast on the Coast will benefit our community outreach projects, such as the Child Clothing Project. This initiative aims to provide essential, brand new, shoes and clothing items to hundreds of underserved children in Okaloosa and Walton counties. It's not just about receiving new items; they gain a sense of belonging and a feeling of being cared for and valued by their community.”  says Child Clothing Project Chair & JLEC President-Elect, Bethe Manning.

Starting at 6:00 PM on Friday night, Head Chef Tyler Simmons will curate an intimate, five-course meal with wine pairings hand-selected by Sommelier, Christopher Matthew to kick off the Toast on the Coast charity weekend! Every dinner ticket purchased is entered for a chance to win a bottle of Patron’s newest premium tequila, Cristalino.

The main event will commence on Saturday at 4:00 PM with an early 3:00 PM entry for VIP guests, and attendees will enjoy a variety of culinary treats, refreshing craft beers, wine, spirits, and music. Favorite vendors from last year like Swiftly Catered, Odd Pelican Beer Company, Third Planet, and new participants like Beach Walk Café, Black Sheep Tequila, Wild Olives 30A, and Timber Creek Distillery will be present. VIP tickets offer early entry, valet parking, a welcome cocktail, and a swag bag. Proceeds will benefit the Junior League of the Emerald Coast and their community impact projects.
