FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — United Way Emerald Coast is excited to kick off Rock United, a virtual singing competition for local bands and musicians.

Among this year’s contestants are The Voice veterans, Emily Bass and Jared Herzog, as well as last year’s Rock United runner-up, Reese Branton.

Rock United celebrates and recognizes the great musical talent in Okaloosa and Walton counties while helping our community by supporting the efforts of United Way Emerald Coast.

Rock United is organized in a single-elimination bracket tournament. The winner of each match-up is based on the number of votes in the United Way Rock United fundraiser.

Every dollar raised equals one vote. Money raised during tournament voting will benefit United Way Emerald Coast’s fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every member of our community.
