The 9th Battle of the Heroes, a fundraiser for the Easton Foundation, was held Saturday night at Raider Stadium. Hall County first responders defeated the combined forces of Habersham/Banks counties 29-18 thanks to a strong first half.
“I just want to say thank you to our entire community who supported us by donating, attending and bringing their local businesses to our game. I speak for every one of the players from both teams as well as the foundation when I say how appreciative we are to everyone who helps put this game together so that we can continue to support the youth in our community,” Easton Foundation President Casey Lizama said.
The Easton Foundation was able to raise more than $24,000 through fundraising efforts in the last year which goes directly to improving the lives of the Northeast Georgia community’s youth.
