Building Homes For Heros
ECAR’s Building Homes for Heroes brings the community together to support injured veterans and first responders, driving impact through our annual Bowling for a Cause Tournament and community partnerships.
Soldiers on the water
Each year in Destin—the "World’s Luckiest Fishing Village", combat-wounded veterans and Gold Star families are treated to a day of world-class fishing in gratitude for their service and sacrifice. Soldiers on the Water creates moments of healing, connection, and camaraderie through a shared love of fishing.
CAMO BBQ
The Annual BBQ Cook-Off brings the community together for a day of great food and friendly competition, all in support of Twin Cities Pavilion and Crestview Manor. Through the generosity of sponsors, volunteers, and attendees, the event raises vital funds to help improve the quality of life for local seniors in assisted living.

"I just wanted to thank All of you guys, and every sponsor connected to The Soldiers on the Water yearly event. I don’t think any of you can truly imagine the impact such a moment makes in the lives of suffering veterans and their families. You guys are the true soldiers; and I personally wanted to take this opportunity to truly Thank You For Your Labor, Leadership, and Lov. I salute you for your service. You’re more than merely appreciated; you guys are loved!."

"First, I will never forget all the wonderful people of Emerald Coast Association of Realtors of Destin Florida, for the down-home hospitality they have shown to me and all the Veterans for this retreat. Before going on the retreat, I was in a not so good place psychologically, mentally to the extent that I was about to give up on LIFE. After the retreat was over and back home, I realized that there are people that care about us. Second this experienced has been a great transformation not only in myself but in others. The Solider on the Water Retreat is an awesome organization, because they give Veterans, spouses, and caregivers relaxation, support and companionship among veterans, but the greatest gift is given to the caregivers. Thanks, you so much, Hope to be back next year with my battle buddy."
