Earlier this year, senior staff writer Jason Dehart wrote about the Rotary Youth Camp, a Tallahassee-based nonprofit organization that hosts a series of three week-long summer camps at the Wallwood Boy Scout Reservation on the shores of Lake Talquin. The program accepts young people from ages 7 to 21 with limitations that preclude them from attending other summer camps. The Rotary Youth Camp is very special to me, and I am very glad that the program received coverage in your magazine. I am looking to start my own program, and I feel certain that Tallahassee Magazine will be an important ally as I go about that work. Leslie Smith co lle get ow n’s

It warms my heart beyond words to hear of so many individuals and companies, including Rowland Publishing via your Top Singles event, who make it a priority to support the American Cancer Society. This support benefits not only the American Cancer Society, but the patients and families they serve and support, people including my husband, Doug. A U.S. Coast Guard veteran, Doug was an enlisted man when he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at the ripe old age of 23. In March of this year, 28 years later, he was diagnosed with a recurrence. The American Cancer Society housed us for three weeks while he underwent pre-surgical chemo and radiation. They have provided us and countless others with support. Shortly after his second diagnosis, I created a Relay for Life team called Kick Cancer in the Butt to try to give back to the American Cancer Society. I was a team of one and raised nearly $1,300. Relay 2016 just launched and we have registered again. I hope that you and many of your employees and readers will give your support and encouragement to Relay for Life–Leon/Havana. We will continue to fight this dreaded disease in hopes that some day others won't have to. Kelly Muga Fitton
