South Walton Academy is raising awareness for students on the Autism Spectrum one swing at a time by hosting our 2nd Annual Tee Up for Autism Golf Tournament on April 10, 2021 at 9:00am, registration begins at 8:00am. Teams and individuals alike are in for a fun day of golf, food, entertainment and prizes. 

Teams of 4 can sign up for $450, and individuals can play for $125. Blue Mountain Bakery will be providing breakfast and Back Beach BBQ will provide lunch. We'll have prizes, beer, and more!

This is a charity tournament designed for players of all skill levels so you do not need to be a great "golfer" to support this great cause-or to win for that matter! 

If golf is not your thing, please feel free to register as a volunteer, sponsor or donate prizes.

About Back Beach Barbecue

Back Beach Barbecue opened in June 2017 by Danny and Monica Cosenzi, the duo behind the famed Restaurant Paradis located in Rosemary Beach. Back Beach Barbecue offers a delicious, refined menu highlighted by 12-hour slow cooked meats, simple homemade sides, gluten free options and four sauces which are made in house. At the center of attention are the restaurant’s two wood fired pits, “Smokey” and “The Bandit”, easily viewed and smelled from the covered patio, outdoor patio or via two garage doors which give the restaurant a true open-air feel. Back Beach Barbecue also offers catering for private and corporate events, delivery and a mobile food truck. The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, beginning at 6:30 a.m. For more information, please follow Back Beach Barbecue on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Information can also be obtained via or by calling 850-249-0822.

Fundraiser

Highlands House 06/03/2016

Live music by Luke Langford & the 331 Band

Food, Drinks, Music, and a Silent Auction

We held our first fundraiser on June 3, 2016! It was so much fun and successful! The Highlands House Staff has been wonderful. They have been so helpful and made sure everything was beautiful and delious. Luke Langford and the 331 South Band also donated their time to come play for our event. They were awesome! We had many businesses and local artist donate items of all kinds and we are so grateful to all. Our community has been amazing and without their support we wouldn't be where we are today. Thank you to everyone!
