“Burning up the Beaches” originated from our partnership with the Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce as a fundraiser to benefit The Arc of the Emerald Coast, allowing us to continue guiding our clients on their journey from disability to capability.

The Arc’s vision has served as the standard bearer for other Arc agencies with the highest ethics and professionalism to guide us. And thanks to people like you, the future is bright for Arc and all our clients!
