T

he 7th annual Savor the Season took place at the Caliza Pool, in Alys Beach on 
November 3. Guests enjoyed the breath-taking atmosphere, live music, silent and 
live auctions, wine tasting and a delicious gourmet menu that was put together 
by 12 of Northwest Florida’s top chefs. All proceeds from the night went toward 

the Taylor Haugen Foundation benefi ting their Youth Equipment for Sports Safety (YESS) 
Program, the Trophy Club and Scholarship programs which awards three $1500 scholarships 
annually to outstanding area high school athletes in the Okaloosa, Walton or Santa Rosa county

passions in life, on the fi eld, in the classroom and volunteering in the local community. He was 
known for being an exceptional young man who was respected and loved by his peers, church 
congregation and family. Additional donations can be made by logging onto www.taylorhaugen.
