| The most important efforts
of the Destin Woman's Club go towards fundraising. The
Mistletoe Ball was our initial fundraising event. Today's
efforts have evolved into several events per year. The
proceeds from these events have been donated to support:
Destin Elementary, Destin Library, Emerald Coast
Children's Advocacy Center, Shelter House, Sacred Heart
Hospital of the Emerald Coast, Inc., the YMCA, and Sacred Heart Women's Diagnostic and
Wellness Center and Birthing Center, Children in Crisis,
Inc., Destin Fisherman's Fund, Destin Woman's Club Mary Kirkpatrick Family
Fund, and Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, Inc. Additionally, we support a self
perpetuating scholarship fund at Northwest Florida State College
for qualifying local women who strive to re-enter today's
competitive workforce.

Family
Fund
Our helping hand does not end here. The Destin Woman's
Club also has a Mary Kirkpatrick Family Fund, which tries to
help fill the gap between public assistance and self
sufficiency. We strive to give help in such a way that
those in need may further help themselves.
