In late August, 2017, the Ashton Hope Keegan Foundation met its first goal, making a donation to Women to the World’s PALS program. The donation provided the funding and supplies needed to get 3 women through their GED program.
The donation was one week before the first anniversary of Ashton’s death, and represented the continuation of Ashton’s work as a tutor and mentor to the women in this program. These women were at the center of Ashton’s heart, and knowing that she continued to make a difference in their lives would have made her happy.
