The Big Taste of Martin County

This year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach & Martin Counties celebrates their 35th Anniversary. To honor the nonprofit, the return of this signature is a great way to celebrate. We are excited to announce, “The Big Experience”, with honorary Chair Willie Roaf. Willie will be on site to take photos, sign autographs and participate in “The Big Experience” to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach & Martin Counties during the Big Taste event. Willie began his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints, who drafted him with the eighth pick of the first round in the 1993 draft. Roaf played nine years for the Saints; he was named to seven Pro Bowls and won a spot on the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team, making him the most awarded player in Saints history. After an injury, Roaf was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in March 2002 for a conditional draft choice. He played four more seasons with the Chiefs and was selected for the Pro Bowl in each of those four years, for a total of 11 Pro Bowl selections. Roaf elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012. Bigger than before, guests will experience the new layout at the Stuart Jet Center making the event socially distant and outside. Enjoy culinary treats as local restaurants, craft breweries, taste and samples of wine will create an event like no other for a good cause. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase VIP tables, silent auction, and to participate in the voting process to select their favorite menu items from area restaurants. The community will come together for an evening of fun, food, wine, music and more at the “Big Taste.” It will feature delicious foods from local restaurants, desserts, and delectable wines from across the world. Guests will experience an array of craft beer from local breweries such as Hop Life, Islamorada Beer Co. & Sailfish Brewing Co., Motorworks Brewing Co., and more. Get a taste and sampling of wines, liquor, and food from 20 restaurants of all cuisines throughout and surrounding Martin County. From Kork, Conchy Joe’s Seafood, The Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House, Ellie’s Downtown Deli, Berry Fresh Café, and the Hutchinson Island Resort & Spa to name a few. There will be so much to enjoy in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Guests will also enjoy a chance to win fabulous prizes in the raffle! The auction opens October 5 online and will include incredible trips and experiences. “The Big Taste of Martin County is a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters in support of their vision to empower youth to graduate with a mission and a mentor for a lifetime” said Yvette Flores, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters said Yvette Flores, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters.
