SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. -- The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office helped raise awareness for the special needs community with a golf tournament Friday afternoon.

There are nearly $2 million disabled people in Florida.

The tournament supports "Emerald Coast Exceptional Families," which tries to help special needs families in a number of ways.

"When you're a special needs family it's so easy to feel isolated and alone," said Angela Nandin, the vice president of Emerald Coast Exceptional Families. "Today the sheriff's office came together and they said you're not alone. We're here and doing this fight with you."
