Cottages for Kids

We wanted you to know about a very important event happening in our community called Cottages for Kids. It is sponsored by the Children's Volunteer Health Network (CVHN), an organization that facilitates free medical, dental and mental health for uninsured and underinsured children in Walton and Okaloosa counties. Cottages for Kids is CVHN's major fundraising event. There are 13 AMAZING play cottages currently on display in Rosemary Beach that will be auctioned on Saturday, November 24 at 2:00. They have been donated and designed by local builders, architects and interior designers.

Our buddy JD will be the celebrity auctioneer and was kind enough to forward these videos so you can see some of the playhouses on display.

Bryan and I are committed to supporting this organization, so we wanted to let you know how you can help as well.

EAT A PIZZA BY THE SEA - Starting tomorrow and continuing through auction day, we will give a percentage of our sales to CVHN.

BUY RAFFLE TICKETS - There is an adorable house that will not be part of the auction and will be won exclusively by raffle. The drawing will be held at 1:00 on Saturday, 11/24. Raffle tickets are $5 and can be purchased during the tours.
