United to serve our region’s youth

3 Feb, Fort Walton Beach:  United for a Good Cause hosted a “Thank You” party as a way to acknowledge the contribution of the members and supporters during 2016.   A great performance by local favorite, Amid Montelongo and Karaoke singing by many attendees was part of the fun.

In addition, delicious food from El Rincón Boricua, Sabór a México, and a delicious cake from La Tienda Mexicana Destin was enjoyed by all.  Guests brought other tasty dishes and desserts as everyone enjoyed a family-friendly fiesta.

United for a Good Cause continues to make an impact in the community and had a hugely successful 2016 in accomplishing their mission to “promote the Spirit of Service, Giving, and Unity among the region’s youth for the benefit of the Emerald Coast community.

In this black and white photo, a pregnant person with long hair sits gracefully on a bed. Gently touching their belly, possibly pondering gestational diabetes, they wear minimal clothing and a watch. One arm rests over their chest in the softly lit room.
