On Saturday, April 30, 2022, the Emerald Coast Community Cares Foundation will host their 8th Annual Crawfish Boil at Cabana Cafe in Miramar Beach, Fl.

There will be live music and family-friendly activities, but more importantly, this year’s event will benefit Saylor Carli.

  • Saylor is the 4-year-old daughter of Cassie Carli, from Navarre, who was found murdered in Alabama on April 2.

Cassie Carli went missing on March 27 following what was supposed to be a child custody swap in Navarre Beach with Saylor’s father, who was Cassie’s ex-boyfriend. He is currently incarcerated in the Santa Rosa County Jail.

Gil Osterloh, of Beverage Law Professionals in Destin, told Get The Coast that he knew about the crawfish boil but wondered if the event was benefitting a particular charity this year.

No charity was indentified, so Osterloh brought up the idea of possibly donating a portion of the proceeds to Cassie Carli’s daughter. Cassie previously lived, and worked, in Destin at Kelly Plantation Golf Club.

“I asked Wayne Anderson, of Cabana Cafe, about it,” said Osterloh. “He met with the board the next day and they he called me back and said it was a unanimous decision. They would be giving all of the proceeds from the event to Saylor.”

  • Osterloh says that they are even working with Synovus Bank on establishing a 529 college plan savings account in the name of Saylor.

“It is extremely heartwarming to watch our community come together and help this family in their time of need,” said Osterloh. “I am very grateful to work with the wonderful people that run the Emerald Coast Community Cares Foundation and their decision to donate all proceeds to help Cassie’s daughter, Saylor, is a prime example of their mission.”

Online auction and on-site raffle

As for the event on Saturday, not only will there be a crawfish boil, but there will be on online auction and on-site raffle.

The auction will preview on Friday, April 29 and go live at 10am on Saturday morning, April 30. The auction will also include a donation option.

“Buying a ticket to this event for yourself, or to donate to someone else, is a big help,” said Osterloh. “We also still need a few more volunteers, as well as items from local businesses for the online auction and on-site raffle.”

  • Anyone wanting to donate a ticket or auction item (or volunteer) can email Gil Osterloh at gil@beverage-law.com or text 850-259-3541.
  • The website for the auction is 32auctions.com/SaylorCarli.

This event is sponsored by BOTE, Cabana Cafe, Emerald Coast Community Cares Foundation, and Beachfront Golf Cart Rentals.

  • Cassie’s father, along with Saylor, will be in attendance at the event.
  • Sputzy and local Elvis impersonator Ron Adams will provide live entertainment.
