Each year our agency will select three new charitable organizations to receive the benefits from the annual event: One charity that helps children, one that helps with crime prevention and awareness, and one that supports the Arts in Brevard County.

The selected charities will each receive 90 percent of the profits, with the remaining 10 percent going to the Brevard County Public Safety Charity that helps support public safety members during a critical time of need.
