“The success of this tournament wouldn’t be possible without the incredible commitment of our sponsors and the unwavering support of our community”, said Beau Blankenship, co-founder of Christie’s International Real Estate Emerald Coast. “We are deeply appreciative of every business and individual who has chosen to invest in this event and the mission it supports.”
In addition to the on-course hospitality, participants will have the opportunity to put their skills to the test in a variety of contests throughout the day, including three Hole-in-One challenges. Sponsored by John Lee Nissan, McCaskill and Company, and The Truman App, the challenges will give golfers the opportunity to win a new 2026 Nissan Armada, a Rolex, and a $2,500 cash prize.
Previously, the EC Live to Give golf tournament has supported The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation and Mission of Hope. Now in its third year, one hundred percent of the proceeds raised from this year’s event will benefit illumiNations, an alliance of Bible translation and resource partners on a mission to make God’s Word accessible to every person on earth by 2033.
“Each year, we’re inspired by the incredible support this community shows for EC Live to Give,” Blankenship said. “What started as an idea to bring people together through golf has grown into a tradition of giving back and making a meaningful impact. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone for another memorable day on the course and continuing to build on the momentum of the past two years. We can’t wait to see both returning participants and new faces come together for what promises to be our best tournament yet.”
