Proceeds from a charity date auction next month, sponsored by Kick It Like You Mean It, will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast.
The July 12 event, which begins 7 p.m. at the Lighthouse Amphitheater, 874 E. U.S. 98 in Destin, is free to attend. A paddle costs $5 to enter the bid for your potential next date.
Refreshments are available for purchase. In addition, raffles for prizes are scheduled.
"This is a fun opportunity to support the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast, a place that believes afterschool programs keep children safe, inspire them to learn, and relieve working parents of worries about how their children spend their afternoons," a spokesperson stated. "Unfortunately, too many kids are left home alone in those critical out-of-school hours or on the streets where they are at risk and can be exposed to crime."
15.1 million children take care of themselves after the school day ends. After-school programs keep kids safe, help working families and inspire learning, according to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast
The organization serves over 1,950 youths across Okaloosa, Escambia, Santa Rosa and Walton counties.
