The kick off to the 2013 Lot parties took place on Wednesday evening with the Monique Burr Foundation’s LIVE at The Lot, following THE PLAYERS Champion Military Appreciation event and Dierks Bentley concert.

Golf fans and members of the community gathered under a canopy of oak trees and lights for a night to celebrate this year’s tournament, while raising money for a good cause.

Attendees enjoyed some of the finest food throughout Jacksonville, including The Good Food Company, Poe’s Tavern, Roy’s Restaurant and Sun Dog Brewing Co., drinks and entertainment. The evening kick started with opening act, Moors & McCumber, followed by headliner Tishamingo, a southern-rock blues band.

The event benefitted the Monique Burr Foundation for Children to provide Speak Up Be Safe – a national bullying and child abuse prevention program being implemented in Florida elementary schools.
