Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. – The YOLO Board-Seaside Celebration on Saturday, September 19th in Seaside, FL, was a huge success thanks to the local community’s generosity! The celebration included a fun-filled day on the water with morning paddleboard races in the gulf, YOLOyak raffle, a silent auction and a concert from the popular Gulf coast group HERITAGE. Bernadette Leach was the lucky winner of the YOLOyak raffle.
Proceeds from the events will benefit both Holly Burke, an 18-year-old Destin resident suffering from clear cell sarcoma, a rare aggressive melanoma, and 28-year-old South Walton resident Jason Thompson, who is fighting a rare form of leukemia. YOLO Board and Seaside want to thank everyone that came out and ‘stood up’ in support of Holly and Jason.
“This community continues to amaze me. The generosity shown today is proof that we live in a very special place,” said Jeff Archer, co-founder of YOLO Board LLC. We’d like to acknowlege our sponsors- Kialoa Paddles, The Merchants of Seaside, Seaside Beach, Aesthetic Clinique, Beach Properties of FL, Bud & Alley’s, Copy Systems, Swantree Concierge, M-Public Relations, I Will Design for Food, Modus Photography, Buckner Productions.
