The Women’s Civic Club of Panama City Beach is a not-for-profit 501C3 which was incorporated in 1967 with a mission of promoting civic improvements for the beach and giving aid to worthy projects benefiting the community. Women who owned businesses, had special interests, or lived on the beach came together to form a strong group to make the Beach a better place to live and visit.
As a working club, most of the year is spent raising funds for sponsored community projects and activities. Some of the fund-raising projects are an arts and craft fair, dance, silent auction, Ironman, and the Tourist Development events by providing staff to support their projects.
During past years, the Club working with other agencies, helping to fund large projects of community value. These projects include Under the Palms Playground, Gayle’s Trails and Conservation Park, Panama City Beach Public Library, and hurricane recovery. Last year, the Club helped make the Frank Brown Splash Pool a reality.
Yearly projects supported by the Women’s Civic Club include Beach Care Services, Anchorage Children’s Home, the Boys and Girls Club, Domestic Violence, Food Pantry, PCB Library, Maggie Still Park, Bay Co Sheriff’s Department, PCB Police Department, PCB Fire Department, and special school projects.
