Our Inspiration

The Lillie J. Walton Foundation was founded in 2003.  We set forth to honor the memory and legacy of our dear mother.  She was a lady of great integrity, wisdom, and a strong advocate of education. Her greatest legacy was the love and support she gave to her children, grandchildren, and community. The foundation will support and promote the success of single parents and the education of underserved students through scholarships and other resources.
