Now in its 21st year, Soundside Splendor welcomes more than 400 patrons to an unforgettable evening on the water. Set against Portofino’s sweeping poolside views, the event pairs signature creations from the Gulf Coast’s finest chefs with curated selections from notable vintners. Live music drifts across the terrace while guests mingle, sample, and raise their paddles during our highly anticipated silent and live auctions.

Your presence is far more than a night of exquisite food and wine—it is an investment in brighter futures. Last year’s milestone celebration generated $400,000, empowering 14 Children’s Home Society of Florida programs that deliver counseling, mentoring, early‑learning, and family‑strengthening services across Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, and Bay Counties.

Whether you join us as a guest or a sponsor, you’ll help build bridges to success for children right here at home—while enjoying one of the region’s most celebrated culinary gatherings.
