Grillin' In The Breeze

08/05/2026

This is what Grillin’ in the Breeze is all about, neighbors helping neighbors, businesses giving back, and a community rallying around its teachers and students.

From all of us at the Santa Rosa Education Foundation, thank you for making an impact that extends far beyond one day of grilling. Together, you’re helping fill classrooms with opportunity, one supply at a time.

We hope you’ll join us again on April 24, 2027, for another unforgettable day of great food, friendly competition, and giving back to the teachers and students of Santa Rosa County. We can’t wait to see you there! ❤️🌴🔥

🔥 Your support of Grillin’ in the Breeze makes a difference long after the grills cool down!

The Little Red School House Teacher Supply Depot is one of the programs supported by proceeds from Grillin’ in the Breeze. This important program provides free classroom supplies to Santa Rosa County District Schools educators, helping them prepare their classrooms and give students the tools they need to succeed.

As the Little Red School House begins stocking its shelves for the new school year, local businesses are invited to become shelf sponsors, and teachers are encouraged to share their classroom wish lists in the comments on the original post.

Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured and donation made to Grillin’ in the Breeze helps support programs like this throughout Santa Rosa County. Thank you for helping us serve the educators who give so much to our students! 🍎✏️🏫

🍎 It’s beginning to look a lot like a new school year!

We’re stocking the shelves at the Little Red School House in preparation for our pre-planning opening and getting ready to welcome Santa Rosa County District Schools educators back for another great year.

Local businesses can help us fill the shelves by becoming a Little Red School House Shelf Sponsor. Your sponsorship will provide much-needed classroom supplies and help teachers begin the school year with the tools their students need to succeed.

We also invite all Santa Rosa County District Schools teachers to drop their classroom wish lists in the comments below! Our community may be able to help you start the school year with a few extra supplies.

Interested in sponsoring a shelf? Send us a message to learn more! ❤️🏫✏️
