The Easton Foundation is located in Habersham County, Georgia. After losing a beloved friend and teen, Easton Singleton to a car accident in 2012 our community gathered together to turn tragedy into triumph. Casey Lizama, a friend of Easton wanted to help other teens with pain and loss but, at the same time encourage other youth to connect with their community and become leaders.
