Community Involvement

Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation

Bay Breeze Patio is a proud sponsor of the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation and supporter of the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village. When Bay Breeze Patio heard that the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF) was making improvements to its Cultural Arts Village and was in need of sponsors to enhance the experience, our team was quick to offer to play a part. The most pressing need was for flexible seating, and Bay Breeze Patio donated more than 900 high-quality resin chairs to provide flexible, comfortable seating for guests who attend the wide range of events hosted at the Mattie Kelly Cultural Arts Village. Bay Breeze Patio Co-owner Wayne Paul also served on the MKAF board of directors.

Sinfonia Gulf Coast

Bay Breeze Patio is also a proud supporter of Sinfonia Gulf Coast. Sinfonia is committed to entertaining, educating and inspiring the community through imaginative and innovative musical programming. With Music Director and Conductor Demetrius Fuller at the helm, Sinfonia aims to enrich and expand the traditional orchestral experience through unique artistic disciplines and collaborations, enhancing Northwest Florida’s cultural vitality.

Food for Thought

Bay Breeze Patio welcomed Food For Thought as a beneficiary of Eggs on the Beach in 2015. With food pantries in Santa Rosa Beach and Destin, Food for Thought helps fight food insecurity by providing backpacks filled with healthy, easy-to-prepare foods for students who are dependent on free or reduced school meals in Okaloosa and Walton Counties.

Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, Inc.

Bay Breeze Patio partnered with Fisher House of the Emerald Coast for the first annual Eggs on the Beach Cooking Competition in 2014, and the event has raised critical funds for the cause over the last 10 years. Located on Eglin Air Force Base, the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast provides a “home away from home” for military families so they can be together during medical treatment.

The Eggs on the Beach Cooking Competition has raised more than $352,600 for local non-profits since its inception in 2014.
