“Our third annual event was a great success,” said Bay Breeze Patio co-owner Susan Kiley. “We were pleased to add more categories to the competition, including an expanded non-profit category in which non-profit teams were competing for donations of $500, $750 and $1000 toward their charity.”
Each charity partner, Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought, received $12,500 toward their cause. Located on Eglin Air Force Base, the Fisher House provides a “home away from home” for military families so they can be together during medical treatment. Food For Thought, with food pantries in Santa Rosa Beach and Destin, helps fight food insecurity by providing backpacks filled with healthy, easy to prepare foods for 1,620 students who are dependent on free or reduced school meals.

Bay Breeze Patio announces the addition of Kevin Louthain as commercial sales manager. The new position will oversee all commercial accounts, including restaurants, resorts, condominiums, hotels, community associations, senior/community centers, golf courses and other businesses with outdoor needs.
