29th Annual Champions Golf Tournament
The Annual Champions Golf Tournament is one of the Chamber’s longest running events. It is a traditional affair that is popular with many Chamber investors who attend every year. The purpose of this event is to help support the ongoing efforts of the Cocoa Beach Regional Chamber and its Military Affairs Council.
The tournament is an opportunity for members to network and get business done while enjoying some friendly competition. It is a networking event that offers much more than a typical luncheon, allowing for camaraderie and fun to forge relationships that last long after golfers leave the course.
In addition to the tournament itself, the event includes a variety of contests that involve prizes and are each sponsored by various parties.

Space Coast Honors
Space Coast Honors is the biggest opportunity of the year for our Chamber investors to honor fellow businesses and recognize those businesses that are dedicated to improving the community. This event was created to bring the Chamber’s investors together for an evening of celebration and recognition.
Throughout the year, businesses are nominated for Business Champion of the Month, and any business who received a nomination is automatically entered into the running for the Business Champion for the Year Award. Each nominee has the opportunity to submit an explanation of the importance that this award has for them, and through a thoughtful selection by CBRCC chosen judges, winners are selected in several categories.

Wine for Warriors Holiday Luncheon
The annual Wine for Warriors Holiday Luncheon is the CBRCC’s final signature event of the year. This event brings businesses together to celebrate the holidays and participate in a wine raffle for MAC which benefits the military enlisted men and women of the Greater Space Coast. Attendees will have the opportunity to win 50 bottles of wine, support the military, and bring their staff for great food and company. We will also recognize deserving members of our military who have given back to the community with the presentation of the MAC's Community Service Awards.
The usual attendance for this event is 100-150 guests, depending on the capacity of the venue, and tickets always sell out. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Wine Raffle go towards supporting MAC programs, non-profit organizations of the military, and enlisted military members stationed in Brevard County.
