The Taylor Haugen Foundation

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

There are four main areas of emphasis for the Taylor Haugen Foundation:

1. The Taylor Haugen Trophy

In conjunction with the All Sports Association, the Taylor Haugen Foundation presents the Taylor Haugen Trophy and award to a local athlete. The trophy recognizes faith-based, student athletes who have persevered and dynamically improved in their sport over time and is a community-oriented and re

spected team player, leader and athlete that lives up to the credo, “Don’t Quit, Never Give Up!”

2. The Taylor Reid Haugen Scholarship Program

Two scholarships are offered annually. Taylor was comfortably expressive about his faith in God and showed it through his commitment to volunteer work in his church and community. The Foundation recognizes well-rounded individuals who demonstrate the perseverance to improve themselves in all aspects of their life while enjoying God’s gifts to the fullest, as Taylor did.

3. Taylor Haugen Foundation Youth Corps

Started by middle and high school students, the mission is “Youth taking Taylor’s passion for serving others into their communities by lending a hand to those in need and positively impacting the world around them through Christ.” The Youth Corps performs acts of service for under-served people and places in need in our community and throughout the country. Two new Youth Corps groups were created in Virginia and Orlando in 2010.

4. Community Partnerships

This area of the foundation allows for support to any other activities, events, people and services not directly identified or covered in the other three areas. The activities supported must still meet the intent of the foundation’s mission as well as with the approval by the Board of Directors, as activities that promote one or more of the following characteristics; Christian faith, athletics, community service, academics and leadership.

18 years ago today, Kathy & Brian, along with the Niceville community, experienced an unimaginable loss when Taylor was taken from us in a tragic accident.

Today, Taylor’s legacy continues to make an impact.

Through the Taylor Haugen Foundation, we have now helped outfit more than 7,500 secondary youth athletes with the EvoShield Rib Shirt, giving athletes an added layer of protection against abdominal injuries.

And just this year alone, we’ve been blessed to outfit 4 teams—helping provide protection, education, and awareness to even more young athletes.

Taylor is the reason we continue to do what we do. His story reminds us why sports safety matters, and his legacy inspires us to make sure other families don’t have to experience the same heartbreak.

18 years later, Taylor’s impact is still protecting athletes and inspiring lives.

We will continue to Protect. Inspire. Educate. in Taylor’s honor. ❤️

In 2008, Taylor Haugen passed away from an abdominal injury sustained while playing football for Niceville High School. In his short 15 ½ years, Taylor Reid Haugen left an indelible mark on the community through his living faith and compassion for his friends, team, community, organizations and church. We are proud to be able to have a display dedicated to the Taylor Haugen foundation here at our shop. Through his legacy the foundation has promoted community support, scholarships and providing abdominal protection for student athletes across the country. We are so thankful for the education that they bring and will continue to bring on safety.
