“The funds raised from this event will help Beaches Habitat to build homes and enable families to afford a mortgage while providing a stable and safe home for their loved ones,” said Nancy Huang. The Huangs, who live in Ponte Vedra Beach, have been longtime benefactors of Beaches Habitat.

“Larry and Nancy have been extraordinarily generous with their time, treasure and talent,” said Curtis Ford, President and CEO at Beaches Habitat. Ford added that in addition to their substantial financial contributions, Nancy volunteers with the Women Build team at the worksite and Larry has tutored students in our education program.

Beaches Habitat will also welcome back Dan Hicken of CBS 47/FOX 30 and 1010XL ‘s “The Drill” as the Honorary Host of Builders Classic. Hicken will be on hand at the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club to not only play but also welcome the golfers and sponsors. In addition, Hicken will lend his name and support to all advertising, social media and public relations platforms related to the 2021 tournament.

The format for the tournament is best ball with a shotgun start. There will be four Par 3 hole-in-one contests, with prizes including a Pebble Beach golf vacation, Land Rover Defender from Fields Auto Group and a GMC Canyon from Nimnicht Buick GMC. There will also be prizes for Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin and Putting Contests, plus four lucky golfers will win a chance to shoot for $100,000. All golfers will enjoy a boxed lunch at registration, complimentary drink tickets and an awards banquet following tournament play.

“Our events in previous years have raised more than $700,000” said Mary Anne Christensen, Development Director at Beaches Habitat. All proceeds from this year’s event will benefit Beaches Habitat’s mission of building affordable homes in the Jacksonville Beaches communities.
