Gumbo Cookoff 2025
Saturday, ​March 8th 11am-3pm
Join Gulf Breeze Rotary in making a lasting impact on our community by partnering with us for the Gulf Breeze Rotary Annual Gumbo Cookoff! This beloved event, now in its 20th year, has raised over $1.2 million in scholarships for deserving local students. By teaming up with us, you’ll help provide life-changing opportunities for students who might not otherwise be able to pursue their education. Each year, we award $6,000 scholarships to honor the dedication and hard work of these students, both in school and in their communities.
​
Your support is crucial to continuing this important tradition. Together, we can make a real difference for our local youth and ensure a brighter future for all. Let’s make this year’s Gumbo Cookoff the most successful yet!
