Help raise scholarship money for Emerald Coast Autism Center at the Hole in ONE Golf Tournament in Sandestin.
NICEVILLE, FL, August 28, 2025 – With today’s national incidence rate of 1 in 31 children being diagnosed with Autism, everyone has a connection to the autism community. Emerald Coast Autism Center invites you to play for the one in your life at the 12th Annual Hole in ONE Golf Tournament on Friday, September 19, 2025 at The Raven Golf Club in Miramar Beach.
Emerald Coast Autism Center (ECAC) provides Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy, education, and vocational training to children and young adults with Autism and other related unique abilities across northwest Florida. ECAC was founded in 2009 by Heidi Blalock and Staci Berryman to fill a need in the community and initially served five clients while sharing their space with another business. Now, ECAC has expanded to two buildings of their own on the Northwest Florida State College campus and provides services to just over 100 children and young adults between the clinic and the school, Emerald Coast Learning Center (ECLC).
The expansions are made possible through special events and donations from the community. Each year, ECAC hosts the ONE Campaign to benefit their scholarship fund and raise awareness by encouraging everyone to run or play for the one in their lives affected by Autism. The campaign is comprised of the ONE Run 5k in April and the Hole in ONE Golf Tournament in September. These events are vital to helping even more families benefit from all that ECAC offers.
This year’s golf tournament is at a new location: The Raven Golf Course in Miramar Beach. Players will have the opportunity to play a beautiful course, compete in on-course games, and win great raffle prizes. There will be a hole in one prize donated by David Scott Lee Buick GMC for anyone that gets the elusive hole in one.
There are still spots available to play in the upcoming golf tournament. Players should register online at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hole-in-one-golf-tournament-2025-registration-1415255730989?aff=oddtdtcreator.
