“Our events in previous years have raised more than $700,000,” said Mary Anne Christensen, Development Director at Beaches Habitat. She added, “With this support, we have been able to fund the construction of homes for local families in need of the safety and stability that an affordable place to live provides.” All proceeds from this year’s event will benefit Beaches Habitat’s mission of building affordable homes in the Jacksonville Beaches communities.

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 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.

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.

Beaches Habitat’s Builders Classic will feature a wide variety of sponsorship opportunities, perfect for a local business or organization interested in partnering with a respected and recognized non-profit.
