This annual culinary experience has grown to become one of the most popular events in the 30A corridor.

Enjoy decadent food tastings with savory wine pairings at our annual fundraiser to build and recognize youth leaders and promote youth sport safety to honor the legacy of T. Make plans to be at the Emerald Coast’s premier one night fundraising event!

The Taylor Haugen Foundation was created to honor the memory of the 15-year-old Niceville High School student who passed away after a traumatic abdominal injury sustained during a football game in 2008. His friends rallied to raise money and a foundation emerged.

We spoke to Kathy Haugen who dished out the finer details about this year’s event:

The Foundation builds and recognizes youth leaders and promotes youth sport safety to honor the legacy of Taylor Haugen.
